Through the program, the group receives individual and group functionality of all MyEvents.com tools, but the organization’s name, color scheme, and logo will be on every page. The added functionality encourages users to invite more people, to become more loyal to the college site, and to return time and time again.

MyEvents is also valuable for individuals and smaller groups, such as students keeping in touch with parents and study partners, as it is an interactive site designed to help increase collaboration, coordinate schedules, and organize activities. Using a powerful yet easy-to-use set of online tools to create free, private Internet groups or communities, users may do everything from share calendars, files and pictures — to assign tasks and instant message friends and family — to build group homepages and auction sites.

Groups using MyEvents.com are based on anything from shared activities or interests, such as a running club or volunteer group — to shared involvement in planning or coordinating a single event, such as a wedding or conference. Because many people belong to several formal and informal groups, MyEvents enables users to easily create as many communities, with as many members as they would like or need.

"It is so easy and quick to create groups with MyEvents that our class has created groups for most of our classes, as well as for weekend plans," Andrea Loux, MBA student at University of California at Berkeley. "MyEvents has given us a way to stay in touch and get organized from anywhere. I can easily access class notes and study schedules from a computer in the library or from my apartment. I wish I had these tools when I was an undergrad!"
