Why It Matters

Most people only see the fun parts of school events: the crowds, the energy, and the big moments. Eventlink^® helps make those moments possible by reducing the chaos behind the scenes. It keeps communities informed, cuts down on confusion, and makes attending events easier for everyone involved.

And the experience speaks for itself. As Abdul Yahia, athletic director at Melvindale High School, shared:

“Eventlink^® has brought structure, organization, and transparency to Melvindale Athletics … Eventlink^® is an athletic director’s best friend.”

On National App Day, it’s a reminder of how the right app can improve everyday life in ways you might not even realize.

Bringing Communities Together, One Event at a Time

From Friday night lights to choir concerts to robotics club meetings, Eventlink^® helps schools create smoother, more connected experiences for students, families, officials, and fans.

As apps continue to shape the way we communicate and organize our lives, Eventlink^® demonstrates how technology can elevate every community moment.
