Welcome to taron
taron is a social platform where Africans — on the continent and in the diaspora — discover experiences, build communities, and create meaningful connections. Whether you are here to find events worth attending, build an audience as a host, or grow a community, this guide gets you moving quickly.
Step 1: Create Your Account
Sign up using your email address. You will enter your name, date of birth, and optionally a taron Gold Code or referral username if someone invited you. After verifying your email with a 6-digit code, you will set your password and complete a short onboarding sequence.
See the Creating Your taron Account article for the full step-by-step.
Step 2: Choose Your Interests
During onboarding, taron asks you to select interest categories — Music & Concerts, Technology, Business & Networking, Food & Drink, Arts & Culture, and others. These choices shape your Home Feed and event recommendations from the start. Choose the ones that genuinely reflect what you want to discover.
Step 3: Explore the Home Feed
After onboarding, you land on the Home Feed. It shows Highlights, Trending events, Nearby Events, Sponsored Events, and recommendations based on your interests. Browse to get a sense of what is available, and open any event that looks interesting to read the full Event Page.
Step 4: Register for Your First Event
Find an event that matches your interests and register. For free events, registration takes a few seconds. For paid events, review the ticket options carefully before completing payment. Your ticket appears immediately in your account after registration.
Step 5: Join Communities
Communities are where taron's long-term value lives. Find one or two that match your interests — through events you discover, hosts you follow, or the recommendations in your feed — and join them. Participate when you can. The relationships that form inside active communities are often more valuable than any individual event.
Step 6: Follow Hosts
When you attend an event and find it valuable, follow the host. Their future events and community activity will appear in your feed, making it easy to stay connected to what they create next.
