LinkedIn Events is a new feature to the business-oriented social network in an attempt to make real-world networking easier. To develop this LinkedIn Events feature, the social media platform watched how its 562 million users promoted their own events, by either sharing them in groups or on their feed. LinkedIn hopes that this new feature will make networking easier both before and after an event.
The LinkedIn Events feature will begin as a pilot program and San Francisco and New York, and will include about 500 event organizers. The events feature will be labeled 'Your Communities' on LinkedIn and will soon be available to all users on the platform. The platform will also work diligently to ensure no fake events or profiles are luring people into suspicious events.
