See How It Works

Sarah: "I'm free after 7pm on Friday, or anytime Saturday except 2-4pm. Prefer Mexican food and need wheelchair access."
John: "Friday night works, or Sunday after 3pm. Can't do Sat. I'm vegetarian, love outdoor seating!"
Miguel: "Weekends preferred. Saturday morning or Sunday anytime. Needs to be near public transit."
AI Recommendation: The best option is Sunday at 4pm at Casa Verde - it offers vegetarian/Mexican options, is wheelchair accessible, has outdoor seating, and is near the Central subway stop.

ConnectUp creates a simple, temporary space focused solely on planning your event. Once it's planned, it's done—no lingering accounts or clutter.

Our Approach

ConnectUp is built with simplicity and efficiency in mind. We use reliable web standards like HTML, CSS, and classic CGI scripts, enhanced with AJAX for smooth updates. This lightweight approach ensures speed and accessibility on any device, prioritizing a great user experience over unnecessary complexity.

Minimal Retention Principle

ConnectUp follows the Minimal Retention Principle, ensuring your data is only kept for as long as it's needed. Each event has an expiration date, after which all data is permanently deleted from our servers. This approach:

  • Respects your privacy and data ownership
  • Keeps our service lightweight and efficient
  • Ensures no unnecessary data is stored long-term
  • Gives you control over your information

Event planners can choose to receive email summaries of the final event details, which they can keep in their own email inboxes for future reference. This way, you maintain control over your event information while we keep our servers clean and efficient.
