How a municipality achieved 700% engagement growth in just 8 weeks
We helped a mid-sized municipality move from scattered event listings to a single, modern event discovery platform.

The result:
• Staff time cut from ~15 hrs/week to

The 95% reduction nobody talks about: event management

Most municipalities still manage events manually, copying the same info across websites, social media, newsletters, and print.
Automation fixes that:

• One entry point
• Updates flow everywhere
• No duplication

Add self-service, and local organisations manage their own events while your team focuses on higher-value work.

The result?
• 40 hours/month → 5 hours/month
• Better content. Happier organisations.

How much time does your team spend on manual event management? 🙋

Most municipalities don’t have an engagement problem.
They have an event discovery problem.

Great local events already exist, run by councils, libraries, community groups, and local organisations. But when events live across websites, PDFs, social posts, and inboxes, residents miss out and engagement stalls.

That’s exactly the gap Townbase was built to solve.
Townbase gives municipalities one central, modern event discovery platform where:
• Residents easily find events that matter to them
• Local organisers gain real, measurable visibility
• Municipal teams stop duplicating content across channels
• Engagement grows naturally - without adding complexity

Events are one of the strongest drivers of civic connection.
They just need the right infrastructure behind them.

Townbase Unveils ActivityGuide to Power Community Participation Across the Nordics today at the Finnish TravelExpo 2026 in Helsinki


Townbase, a Finnish digital community builder, has launched its new ActivityGuide across Finland, Sweden and Norway, giving towns and cities a simple new way to connect people with local hobbies, activities and interest groups.

Designed to be offered by municipalities, cities and NGOs, the Townbase ActivityGuide brings local activities into one intuitive, free-to-use platform, making it easier for residents to discover what’s happening nearby, try something new and connect with others in their community.

By improving visibility of local clubs, groups and grassroots activities, the platform helps cities tackle challenges such as low participation, social isolation and disengagement, while strengthening community wellbeing and inclusion.

A Ready-to-Launch Engagement Platform for Cities

The ActivityGuide can be fully white-labelled, allowing municipalities to launch a branded, official local discovery service quickly and cost-effectively. It is the first Activity & Hobby platform available to municipalities with no monthly charges, significantly lowering the barrier to providing inclusive digital services.

The platform is fast to implement, easy to manage and designed to support a wide range of community, health, wellbeing and participation initiatives.

Built for Speed, Quality and Scale

Mikko Lintunen, Managing Director of Eventz International (Townbase), said:

“Local communities are built around shared interests, but too often those opportunities are hard to find. ActivityGuide makes local life visible again, helping people discover activities, meet others and feel part of their community.”

“Our local authority clients value the speed, quality and ease of use of our platforms. ActivityGuide enables cities to launch a full-featured local engagement service quickly, with high satisfaction from both administrators and residents.”

Essential Digital Infrastructure for Local Life

By turning hobbies and activities into a visible, shared local resource, the Townbase ActivityGuide helps towns and cities increase participation, support local organisations and strengthen social connections, making it a valuable addition to any modern place-based digital strategy.
