This article walks you through creating a new event from your dashboard, from starting a blank event to seeing it ready for setup
Step 1: Go to the Events tab
From the top navigation bar, click “Events.” This takes you to your Events list, where all your existing events are shown.
- Click the blue “Add Event” button in the top-right corner of the Events page.
Step 2: Fill in your event details
The Add Event form opens. Fill in the following details:
• Event Name (required): give your event a clear name. This will be used in the URLs for the landing pages.
• Event Type: choose from Corporate, Conference, Trade Show, Webinar, Awards Ceremony, Membership Event, Internal Event, Leadership Event, or Product Launch. Click “+ Add Type” if none of these fit.
• Event Start & End Dates: set the date and time range, and confirm the timezone (click “Change” if it needs adjusting).
• Participant Count: enter the number of Attendees (required), plus Speakers, Sponsors, and Exhibitors if applicable. This helps power event insights.
• Event Website (optional): paste your event URL to auto-fill details, or add them manually using “+ About Event,” “+ Venue Address,” and “+ Event Hashtags.”
Once everything looks right, click “Add Event” at the bottom of the form to save.
Step 3: Your event is created
You'll land on your new event's Info page, showing the details you just entered. From here, use the left-hand menu to continue setting up your event:
• Content: Info, Campaigns, Avatars, Photos, Sessions
• People: Attendees, Companies, Sponsors
• Admin: Insight, Messages, Import history, Settings
For example, head to the Campaigns tab to set up your event poster campaigns.
