I probably need to clarify that so thanks for mentioning this - search isn't an active feature at the moment - I'm focusing on the organiser side for now before opening that side up, as there aren't enough events currently for it to be useful.
Definitely won't be sign up to search once search is live.
That'll work as long as your organizers are willing to push their attendees to use a new thing, but if you want this to truly become a discovery platform and avoid xkcd 927, it would really be ideal to somehow aggregate/scrape public event info from other sources.
Cause yeah, from the consumer side, I'd love to have a single place that could let me search and link me out to events listed on Facebook, Eventbrite, Ticketmaster, Meetup, Fever, etc., and also provide reasonable tools for cutting through what is sure to be a deluge, through some combination of search tools and machine curation/recommendation.
If they were going to aggregate, having corresponding events tagged (e.g. the same event posted on Meetup, Facebook, and Instagram all showing up linked under the same page) would be helpful, or even necessary.
