Five Ways to Experience taron
taron supports five event formats, each designed for a different kind of participation and access. The event type appears on every Event Page, and it tells you immediately what to expect — whether you need to travel somewhere, how you will join online, or how much time to set aside.
In-Person Events
Attendees come to a physical location. Check-in typically uses taronPass for QR ticket scanning. The Event Page shows the venue name, address, and a map with a Get Directions button.
As an attendee: have your QR ticket open and screen brightness up before you reach check-in. Arrive a few minutes early for the smoothest entry.
As a host: add precise venue and arrival details before publishing. Include entrance location if the venue is large.
Online Events
The entire experience happens over the internet — no travel required. Access is provided through a link or access URL, which may appear on your ticket or be distributed close to the event time.
As an attendee: locate your access link before the event starts. Have a stable internet connection and any required apps or tools ready.
As a host: use taron's supported access flow to distribute links to registered attendees. Specify preparation requirements in the event description.
Hybrid Events
Both in-person attendance and online participation are supported simultaneously. Some attendees are at the venue; others join remotely. Both groups access the same content.
For taron's community of Africans on the continent and in the diaspora, hybrid events are particularly powerful — someone in Lagos and someone in London can participate in the same experience at the same time.
As an attendee: confirm whether your ticket is for in-person or online attendance. The access details differ.
As a host: provide clear, separate instructions for each attendance type. Hybrid events require more production consideration than single-format events.
Audio Events
Sound-only experiences — no video required. Think live conversations, panel discussions, community calls, or talk-based content where what is said matters more than what is seen.
As an attendee: no camera needed. Audio-only participation reduces friction for people who prefer not to appear on video.
As a host: ideal for interview formats, community discussions, or content where visuals add little to the experience.
Flash Events
Short-notice, time-limited experiences published with minimal lead time. They are designed to be discovered and joined quickly — rewarding the most engaged followers who have notifications enabled.
As an attendee: enable notifications for hosts you follow to catch Flash Events before they fill.
As a host: Flash Events build engagement and exclusivity with your core audience. They are most effective when your followers already have push notifications enabled for your activity.
