The app for all-hands meetings and town halls
An all-hands is one hour, one room, and one question the leadership team would rather not take. The app decides which question that is, and whether the answer reaches anyone who was not in the room.
A planning figure: the point where a town hall stops being a conversation and becomes a broadcast that needs structure.
What decides whether a town hall lands
An all-hands meeting app collects questions from employees before and during a town hall, ranks them by upvote, runs live polls from the stage, and gives the communications team a record of what was asked and what the room thought. event67 does that inside your company's own branded app rather than a third-party engagement tool with somebody else's logo on the screen, and it bills only for the employees who claim their invite and open it.
The question the room wants, not the question the room is brave enough for
Upvoting is the entire mechanic. Employees submit questions ahead of the meeting and during it, everyone votes, and the ranked list is what the executive works from. Moderation exists so a communications lead can order and hold questions, though moderation actions are not logged. The list you did not get to is itself the most useful output of the hour.
A pulse check that is on screen before the moment passes
Live polls answered from the session screen give a number in seconds. Asking a thousand people whether they understood the reorganisation, and reading the honest answer aloud, is a different meeting from asserting that everybody is aligned.
Reaching people who were not in the room
Announcements push to every phone and deep-link to the exact post, so the recap does not depend on somebody forwarding an email. Scheduled announcements let comms write the follow-up in advance and have it land an hour after the meeting ends.
Numbers for the communications team
How many people opened the app, how many asked, how many voted, how many read the follow-up. Engagement analytics turn an all-hands from a thing that happened into a thing you can report on and change.
A quarter, around one hour
The week before
Open Q&A early
Questions collected in advance are better questions. Open the Q&A a week out and let voting run. By the morning of the meeting the executive has a ranked list and time to prepare, which is the difference between a real answer and a deflection.
Uses live Q&A.
The hour before
One push, deep-linked
A single announcement with the join details and the agenda. It arrives as a push notification and opens on the post itself, not on a home screen the reader then has to navigate.
Uses push announcements.
During
Vote, react, poll
Voting continues live, so a question raised by something said on stage can climb to the top in ninety seconds. Reactions stream across the room. Two or three polls carry more information than a fortnight of survey design, because they are answered by people who are paying attention right now.
Uses live polls.
The same afternoon
Publish what you did not get to
The unanswered questions are already ranked and already written down. Answering the top five in a follow-up post is the cheapest trust-building move available to a communications team, and it takes twenty minutes because the list assembled itself.
Uses announcements.
Quarter on quarter
Watch the trend, not the meeting
Run every all-hands in the same app and the interesting number stops being attendance and becomes participation over time. The reports archive keeps every question and poll result, so the comparison is available rather than reconstructed.
Uses engagement analytics.
Running a town hall through the app
Five steps, repeated every quarter. The second one is where most of the value is.
Create a recurring event shell
One event per town hall keeps each quarter's questions and results separate, which is what you want when you compare them later.
Open Q&A a week early
Advance questions with voting are the whole point. Opening on the day gets you the loudest question, not the most common one.
Decide the moderation posture
Open, moderated or admin-only. Moderated is right for most companies: it sequences rather than censors, and the log shows what was held.
Draft two polls
Write them before the meeting. Polls invented on stage are leading questions.
Schedule the follow-up
Write the recap announcement in advance and schedule it. The unanswered questions list is already ranked for you.
What a 900-person town hall costs
Nine hundred employees claim and open. Fifty are free and the rest are billable once for that meeting. Because the meter counts activation rather than headcount, the people who were on leave never appear on the bill.
- activated attendees
- 900activated attendees
- billable, after the first 50 are free
- 850billable, after the first 50 are free
- for the whole event, at $5.00 each
- $4,250for the whole event, at $5.00 each
If you run four town halls a year at this size, each is its own event with its own free fifty.
What event67 does not do for a town hall
This one has a real boundary and it matters, because most town halls are now partly remote.
- No video streaming. event67 does not broadcast the meeting. Run the stream on the tool you already use and let event67 carry the agenda, the Q&A, the polls and the follow-up alongside it.
- No anonymous questions. Questions carry the asker's identity, which raises the quality of what gets asked and lowers the volume of it. If anonymity is a hard requirement for your culture, this is the wrong tool.
- No integration with your intranet or employee directory. The attendee list is imported, not synced.

What it costs
- Free up to 50
- activated attendees, on one live event
- $5
- per activated attendee beyond 50
- $4,750
- the most one event can ever cost, whatever happens past 1,000
Activated means the person claimed their invite and opened the app. Not when you import them, not when the invite is delivered, and not if they register and stay home.
Questions people actually ask
Can employees ask questions anonymously?
No. Questions are attributed to the person asking. That is a deliberate product decision rather than a missing feature, and it is worth checking against your culture before committing. Moderation gives you control over what is shown and when; it does not give you anonymity.
Does it work when most people are remote?
Partly, and the boundary matters. event67 carries the agenda, the Q&A, the voting, the polls and the announcements for remote employees exactly as it does for the room. It does not carry the video. Run the broadcast on your existing meeting platform and use event67 for everything around it.
How do we stop the same three people dominating Q&A?
Upvoting does most of it, because a question only rises if other people want it asked. Moderation handles the rest: hold a question, promote another. Note that moderation actions are not audit-logged.
Is a town hall app worth it for a company of eighty?
At eighty activated employees you pay for thirty. The honest test is whether people are currently asking real questions in the room. If they are, you do not need this. If the room is silent and the questions arrive afterwards in private messages, upvoted Q&A is the fix.
Can we keep a record for compliance or works-council purposes?
The reports archive keeps every question, every poll result and every moderation action for the event. Team chat and billing carry audit trails. Confirm with your own legal team whether that satisfies your specific obligation; we make the record available rather than certify it.
