Create a New Event

Setting up an event takes a few minutes. You supply the basics, and the event is saved as a draft that you can refine before anyone sees it.

Steps

1. Go to Memberships, then Events.
2. Click + Create Event at the top right.
3. Choose Ticketed or RSVP.
4. Complete the details:
   • Event name: up to 100 characters; it becomes the page headline.
   • Cover image: PNG, JPG, or GIF, ideally 1920 x 1080 px and under 5 MB.
   • Short summary: up to 160 characters for the hero area.
   • Event description: use the rich text editor for lists, links, and images.
5. Set the Start and End dates and times, choose the Timezone, and pick a 12 hour or 24 hour display format.
6. Choose the location.
   • In-person: enter the address.
   • Online: enter a title, meeting URL, optional image, and instructions, then decide when the link is revealed.
7. Add the organizer: name and email are required; an image (ideally 400 x 400 px), website, and phone are optional.
8. Click Create event.

What Happens Next

Your event is a Draft. Continue by adding tickets, a schedule, speakers, page design, and settings, then publish when ready. The timezone you choose here also governs ticket sale windows, session times, and coupon periods.

Tips

• Write the short summary as a single compelling sentence; it is the first thing visitors read.
• Use a landscape cover image with the focal point in the center so it crops cleanly on phones.
• Double-check the timezone, because every date in the event inherits it.

Good to know: The organizer details appear in a "Hosted by" section on the public page, so use a brand name and monitored email address.
