What Audio Events Are
Audio Events are live, sound-only experiences on taron. No video required, no camera needed — participation happens entirely through audio. Think of them as live radio conversations: panel discussions, community calls, interviews, Q&A sessions, or talk-based programming where the content is what matters, not the visual.
The format has advantages that go beyond simplicity. Audio events are lower-friction for attendees who do not want to be on camera, accessible on mobile with minimal data requirements, and suited to formats where the listening experience is central — a podcast-style interview, a community debrief after an event, or a panel discussion where the ideas are the draw.
Joining an Audio Event as an Attendee
After registering, locate your access details from your ticket or the Event Page. For Audio Events, access is typically through a link or a platform the host has specified. No camera preparation is needed. Check your audio output — headphones typically produce a better listening experience than device speakers in a noisy environment.
If the event format allows audience participation, the host will explain how to contribute — whether through a raise-hand function, a designated Q&A window, or an open discussion format.
Participating Without Video
The absence of video in an Audio Event is not a limitation — it is a design choice. When you cannot see other participants, the quality of what is said carries the full weight of the experience. This tends to produce more focused, content-driven events. Prepare to engage thoughtfully with what you hear rather than passively consuming it.
Hosting an Audio Event
When creating an Audio Event on taron, select Audio Event as the event type. This signals to attendees that no video component exists, sets the right expectations before registration, and helps taron surface the event accurately in relevant discovery surfaces.
Provide clear access instructions and specify the format: who speaks and when, how questions are handled, and what attendees can expect from the experience. A well-described Audio Event converts browsers into registrants more effectively than a vague listing.
