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.  

1. 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.
