Community Stahdards
Updated: 4 May 2026
integrate is built for adults who want more than small talk. We create real-life experiences to help people connect, feel part of something and build genuine friendships in Abu Dhabi.
We are a community, not just an events group. That means the way people show up matters. Our events should feel relaxed, welcoming and safe for everyone.
These standards apply at integrate events, in event WhatsApp groups and in any interactions connected to the community.
1. Respect comes first
Kindness, respect and good judgement are expected at every integrate event.
Respect different cultures, values, beliefs, backgrounds, boundaries, personal space and communication styles. Discrimination, harassment, bullying, intimidation or behaviour that makes others feel targeted, humiliated or unsafe is not acceptable.
2. Help create the integrate vibe
integrate works best when people show up open, friendly and willing to connect.
Join in, introduce yourself and be mindful of others. If you notice someone standing alone or looking unsure, breaking the ice with a small hello or introduction can make a big difference.
3. Book right, be happy
All attendees must book using their own name and contact details. We require a valid WhatsApp number for event coordination. If you don’t provide a valid number, you may miss important updates and we will not be responsible for this.
Our events are pre-booked and curated to keep them balanced, comfortable and well-run. We do not allow anonymous walk-ins. If you arrive without a confirmed ticket, you may be turned away.
4. Respect hosts, venues and staff
Our hosts are there to welcome people, guide the experience and protect the feel of the room.
Please listen to host guidance, follow venue rules and treat hosts, venue staff and other attendees with care. If a host or venue team member asks you to adjust your behaviour, we expect you to respond respectfully.
5. integrate is not a dating platform
integrate is designed for friendship, community and real-life connection.
Friendships, relationships and connections may naturally happen, but unwanted flirting, sexual comments, touching, repeated pursuit or behaviour that makes someone feel uncomfortable is not acceptable.
6. Do not cold message or pressure others
Please do not pressure anyone for their number, social media, time, attention or private plans.
Unless you have met someone in person and there is clear mutual interest in staying connected, avoid sending private messages. Event chats are not a contact list. If you are unsure, always ask first.
7. Keep safe, think first
Please respect your physical limits and keep aware of all risks flagged to you. Follow host and venue guidance. Do not push yourself beyond what you are capable of – sadly active activities as adults often require a warm-up!
On travel - integrate does not recommend or take responsibility for private lifts between attendees. If attendees choose to travel together privately, this is a personal decision made at each individual’s own discretion. Please exercise good judgement and common sense.
8. WhatsApp group etiquette
Event WhatsApp groups are there to help people attend, coordinate and enjoy the experience.
Please do not use them for spam, self-promotion, selling, unrelated event links, debates or off-topic conversations. Keep messages relevant, respectful and easy for everyone to follow. What is shared in the group should stay in the group.
Do not screenshot, forward or share someone else’s messages, photos or details without consent.
9. Consent before content
Please ask before taking or sharing photos or videos of other attendees. Official integrate hosts may capture content at events in line with our terms, but we still aim to be respectful and considerate. If you do not want to be filmed or photographed, please tell a host at the event.
10. Raise it, do not ignore it
If you witness behaviour that may breach these standards, or someone makes you feel uncomfortable before, during or after an integrate event, please tell us in the way that feels easiest. You can speak to the host at the event, or message Tara directly via WhatsApp.
We take concerns seriously and will handle them with care and discretion.
Our right to protect the community
integrate reserves the right to refuse entry, remove someone from an event, cancel a booking or restrict future attendance if we believe their behaviour does not align with these Community Standards.
This may apply to behaviour before, during or after an event, including behaviour in WhatsApp groups, direct messages or private interactions between members.
Refunds will not be provided where someone is refused entry, removed or restricted due to behaviour that does not align with these standards.
These standards aim to protect the warmth and safety that make integrate special. In short: be kind, be respectful, and help make integrate the community you want to be part of.
