Hey arnath, I'm working on a new open public chat app called sqwok. It does _not_ have events, but that said, it's a new alternative for easily starting and sharing a quality chat with anyone.
As an example I just made a post about Amazon's Alexa Hardware event on Sept 24th. You could share this with anyone and they can open on phone or desktop and instantly chat: https://sqwok.im/p/S8-O4B-p6C_2tg.
I know it's not entirely what you're looking for but thought I'd share that people _are_ in fact working on new alternatives. For just the chat component you could create an account, make a post about the event, and share with everyone you want to talk to. Anyways thought I'd share, cheers mate.
