For first-time organisers, and everyone they need
Put on the event your town is missing.
A surf jam on your beach, a trail run up your hill, a jazz night in the square. ovento helps anyone — no company, no experience needed — plan it, find the sponsors who will pay for it and the people who will turn up, and see whether it is likely to fly before you put your name on it.
One place for everybody an event needs
Organisers
Describe it in plain words, pick from a taxonomy as wide as the things people gather for, and get a success score with the reasons behind it. Then publish, and manage who is coming, who is paying and who is helping.
Participants
Find what is on near you — by kind, by place, free or paid — say you are going, and get a nudge the day before. You can see how each event is shaping up before you commit your Saturday.
Sponsors
Browse events looking for backing, see the audience each one expects, pick a tier or offer your own amount. The organiser answers, and you are listed on the event once it is accepted.
The places are already there
Take Figueira da Foz: a beach that seems to go on for ever, the Serra da Boa Viagem right behind it, the Atlantic in front and the Mondego running into it. That is a surf contest, a trail race, a regatta and an open-air cinema waiting for someone to organise them. Every town has its own version.
How it goes
Sketch it
What, where, when, how many, how much. The simulator scores it as you type — no account needed to try.
Tune it
Every factor shows its effect. Move it to a Saturday, drop the price, add a partner — and see what changes.
Ask for backing
Set a sponsorship goal and tiers with perks. Add the câmara, the venue, the volunteers as partners.
Go live
Publish it. Sign-ups and sponsor offers arrive live, and the score starts trusting real numbers over guesses.
Sports, music, and everything else
Running, surf, padel, fado, DJ sets, theatre, food festivals, beach clean-ups, stargazing, hackathons, santos populares, flea markets, charity runs, kids' camps, town meetings… The taxonomy is deliberately wide, and anything it does not cover goes under "something else entirely" with tags of your own.
