Facebook has introduced a new way for event organizers to understand how their events connect with real-world foot traffic. The company now links Facebook Event Insights with data on physical location popularity times. This move helps users see when people are most likely to visit a place tied to their event.

Event creators can use this feature to plan better. They get a clearer picture of when guests might arrive. This information comes from aggregated and anonymized check-in patterns at physical venues. Facebook says the data shows trends without revealing personal details.
The update builds on existing tools that show how many people say they will attend or are interested in an event. Now, organizers also see how those online signals match actual visits. For example, if a concert is listed on Facebook, the host can view peak hours at the venue around the event time. This helps them manage staffing, promotions, or logistics.
Businesses benefit too. A café hosting a book reading can compare RSVPs with real customer flow. If interest is high but foot traffic is low, they might adjust advertising or timing. The goal is to make events more successful by aligning digital plans with real behavior.
Facebook says this integration respects user privacy. It uses only broad trends from public activity. No individual data is shared with event hosts. The system updates automatically as more people interact with the event page or check in nearby.

This tool is now available to all public event creators in supported regions. It appears under the Insights tab for each event. Users do not need to change any settings. The data starts appearing once enough activity is recorded around the event location.
