Feed — your CoHub community, in one place

Feed is a simple update stream: post a short message and, if you want, a photo, and it’s visible to your CoHub community. Use it the way you’d use a quick professional status update — what you’re working on, a space you just listed, a gig you just posted, a win worth sharing. It’s also where upcoming MeetGreet events show up, so it doubles as a quick way to see what’s coming up nearby without leaving the page.

Feed is public within the CoHub community, not a private message — treat a post the way you’d treat something posted on a professional network, not a one-to-one conversation. For anything you only want one specific person to see, use messaging instead.

MeetGreet — meet, greet, connect

MeetGreet is CoHub’s events feature — real networking events, in person or online, that any member can browse and RSVP to, or host themselves. It exists for exactly the moments a message thread can’t replace: an actual mixer, a workshop, an industry meetup.

Every event has:

  • A title, description, date and time.
  • A location — either a physical suburb/address, or, for a CoHub Live session, a meeting link instead. See the CoHub Live section below for how that works.
  • An optional capacity limit and cover photo.
  • A price, if the host has made it a paid event — otherwise it’s free to RSVP.
  • Industry tags, so it surfaces to the right people when they browse or filter by industry.

Like every listing and task on CoHub, a new event goes through admin approval before it’s visible or RSVP-able — that’s the same quality check that applies everywhere else on the platform, not something specific to you.

RSVPing to a free event

Once an event is approved, you can RSVP directly from its page — you’ll need to be logged in to do it. On a free event an RSVP is a lightweight “I intend to come” signal for the host, not a payment or a binding commitment, and you can change it any time.

Free or paid — the host chooses

Most MeetGreet events are free, and that’s the default. But a host putting real money into an event — a venue, catering, a speaker — can set a ticket price instead and sell places through CoHub. The event form asks Free or Paid, and a paid event shows its price on the browse page, in the feed and on the event page, so nobody clicks through expecting free.

If you’re buying a place

  • You pay the price shown, charged at checkout, with nothing added on top — CoHub’s fee comes out of the host’s side.
  • One place per person. A ticket is yours: it can’t be passed on or resold.
  • Buying a place is also your RSVP — you don’t press Going separately, and for a CoHub Live session the meeting link appears once you’ve paid.
  • Cancelling: full refund, CoHub’s fee included, if you cancel 48 or more hours before the start. Inside 48 hours it isn’t refundable — by then the host is paying for a room and catering on the strength of your name.
  • If the host cancels the event, or moves its date, time or location, you’re refunded in full whatever the timing.

If you’re charging for one

  • Connect Stripe first, from your host dashboard. CoHub never holds event money — it goes to your own Stripe account as each place sells.
  • You keep 85% of each ticket; CoHub’s 15% Service Fee comes out of your payout. The founding-member fee waivers don’t extend to events.
  • Once you’ve sold a single place the price is locked. Everything else about the event can still be edited — but changing the date, time or location lets every ticket holder cancel for a full refund right up until it starts.
  • Cancelling a paid event refunds everyone in full, including CoHub’s fee. You keep nothing from an event that doesn’t happen.
  • You’re the one running it: the venue and the right to use it, any licences or permits (a liquor licence if you’re serving alcohol), insurance, safety and your own GST are all yours. The MeetGreet Event Terms are the agreement between you and the people who buy a place, and you accept them when you create a paid event.

Paid events go through the same CoHub review as any other event before they’re listed. That review is a quality check, not an endorsement of the venue, your licences or what you’re providing.

Hosting your own event

Any member can host a MeetGreet event from the events dashboard. If you edit an already-approved event’s date, time or location afterwards, it goes back through approval before it’s visible again, and everyone who’d RSVP’d or been invited gets an email once it’s re-approved — so don’t worry about losing your RSVPs by fixing a typo, but do expect a short delay if you change the details that actually matter to attendees.

If the event is really someone else’s — a conference, a webinar, an industry body’s session — mark it as externally organised when you list it, and say who’s actually running it. CoHub is only promoting it, and an RSVP here isn’t a registration with them.

CoHub Live — webinars and virtual sessions

CoHub Live is the virtual side of MeetGreet — the same events feature, just online instead of in a room. It’s built for the sessions location makes impossible to attend in person: a webinar, a panel, an industry Q&A, a virtual mixer for members outside the host’s own city.

A CoHub Live session isn’t a separate thing you set up somewhere new — it’s an ordinary MeetGreet event with the “online” toggle switched on, so everything in the sections above (approval, industry tags, RSVPs, editing) works exactly the same way. What’s different is the location field: instead of a suburb, you paste a meeting link.

Categories

CoHub Live sessions use the same industry tags as any MeetGreet event — Finance & Accounting, Technology, Marketing & Advertising, Legal, and the rest of CoHub’s industry list. Pick whichever apply on the host form, and members can filter CoHub Live by category to find sessions relevant to their industry.

Which platforms work

Any of them. CoHub doesn’t run its own video calling — a host pastes whatever meeting link their own platform gives them (Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Webex, GoTo Meeting, Whereby, or anything else), and CoHub Live shows a recognisable badge for the common ones so attendees know what to expect before they click through. Joining just opens that platform in a new tab — no CoHub account beyond being logged in to RSVP, and no extra software to install specifically for CoHub.

Joining a session

RSVP as Going on the session’s page — that’s what reveals the meeting link. It’s hidden from the page until then, both so the link isn’t publicly scrapeable and so a host has a real headcount before the session starts. At the scheduled time, come back to the same page and use the “Join CoHub Live session” button, or use the RSVP confirmation you were sent.

Hosting a session

Set up your own video call first (Zoom, Teams, Google Meet — whichever you already use), then create the event on CoHub the same way you would an in-person MeetGreet, ticking “Make this a CoHub Live session” and pasting your meeting link instead of a suburb. A few things worth knowing before you do:

  • CoHub doesn’t host, record, or moderate the call itself — that all happens on your own platform, under that platform’s own terms. You’re responsible for running the session and for anything that happens on it, the same way an in-person host is responsible for their event.
  • Don’t record a session, or any attendee, without telling people first — most video platforms have a visible recording indicator, but say it out loud too.
  • The same admin approval, editing, and re-approval rules as any MeetGreet event apply — see “Hosting your own event” above.
  • Keep your meeting link working for the full scheduled time. If your platform’s free tier has a time limit (a common one on Zoom’s free plan, for example), check it covers your session before you publish it.

Appropriate use of Feed, MeetGreet and CoHub Live

All three are still part of the CoHub platform and covered by the same rules as everything else — accurate, honest content, no harassment or discrimination, and no using an event listing, a virtual session, or a post for anything unlawful. See Appropriate & inappropriate use and Terms of Service (Section 9) for the full picture, including CoHub’s role — or rather, its lack of one — in the third-party video platform you choose to run a session on.
