Events

What are Events?

Public place owners have the opportunity to create their Public Events in the bewifi app. This way, the people who consult the place events' list will have an overview of what's to come and can choose or not to attend to some of the events.
Place owners also have the option to create their Private Events, however they will only be visible to those invited to the event.
Logically, private place owners can only create private events.
