Summary: Luma launches localized Houston event discovery

Why It Matters: The platform is moving from a generic event creation tool to a local discovery engine. This helps them keep users on the site longer by showing them what is happening nearby instead of just helping them host their own events.

What Changed:

  • Replaced the generic "Delightful Events Start Here" landing page with a Houston-specific event feed.
  • Added a "What’s Happening in Houston" section with a description of the local tech and culture scene.
  • Integrated a live calendar showing specific upcoming events like "Founder Fridays" and "Token Talk."
  • Added a notification feature for users to get alerts before local events sell out.
  • Included specific venue names, ticket prices, and waitlist status for local gatherings.
