This looks great. I have a small local non-profit purely social event/group, and I'd like to be able to advertise it better. I did not use meetup because they have no way to post an event for free! Given that my use case is not about making money, I don't want to be spending money either. Meetup seemed to only have high budget events, many of which needed money to join. It would be very nice to have a place where you can just have non-money-related events (free to post, free to attend). Perhaps making everything that does not (generally) charge money to attend free would be a good choice for you.

Also, there should be a map so I can see as pins on a map which upcoming events are physically close to me. I recommend openstreetmap for this to keep costs down. You don't need the higher detail information that Google has for this.
