How is Belong different?

1. Sectoral specialisation

• Belong Events: Focuses on various areas of mental well-being and self-development, offering in-depth and focused insights into these topics. The platform is ideal for organizers and participants of self-development and mental health events.
• Other event platforms ( e.g., Eventbrite, Meetup): General-purpose platforms that cover a wide range of categories, such as business events, technology, music, and leisure. They often lack the depth and specialization found in niche areas.

2. Innovative "time-space" feature

• Belong Events: The platform features a unique “time-space browser” that allows users to specify both a time period and a geographic region simultaneously. This intuitive tool makes searching visual and easy to use, providing a precise overview of events that match the user’s needs.
• Other platforms: Although there are date and location filters, there is no graphical and intuitive search solution similar to Belong Events.

3. Integrated ecosystem

• Belong Events: The platform creates connections between events, services, organizers, and locations. For example, from an event page, you can directly view the organizer’s profile, their other events, and the services they offer. This approach simplifies the user experience and provides a comprehensive overview of the industry.
• Other platforms: Focus on displaying events, but often do not systematically link different data such as organiser background or information related to other offers.

4. Building community and supporting professionals

• Belong Events: We actively collaborate with professional associations in the field to support professionals by providing tools to increase the visibility and reach of their practices. The platform helps them find clients, collaboration partners, and continuing education opportunities.
• Other platforms: While platforms such as Meetup encourage community building, they lack a focus on supporting professionals and addressing sector-specific needs.

5. Mission and values that support the integrity of life

• Belong Events: The platform was created to support a holistic approach to life and foster a community focused on mental well-being. The goal is to address specific industry challenges, such as a lack of visibility and collaboration.
• Other platforms: Generally focus on facilitating the organisation of events and serving a wide range of users, without a clearly defined sectoral mission.

6. Local and global balance

• Belong Events: Supports both local events and globally connected communities. Its regional and thematic depth allows for better adaptation to the specific characteristics of each region and field.
• Other platforms: Offer wide global availability, but often remain superficial in addressing local and specific needs.
