Organizing events

This guide is for owners, admins and organizers of an organization. It follows an event from start to finish.

Stage	What you do
1. Set up your organization	Once: your organization, team, payments and community.
2. Plan your event	Create the event, describe it, set up tables and rooms.
3. Sell tickets	Ticket types, days, capacity, checkout, issued tickets.
4. Build the programme	Calls, proposals, sessions and the schedule builder.
5. Publish and promote	Event status, public pages, contacting attendees.
6. Run enrollment	Phases, pick limits, waitlists, session changes.
7. Run the event	Check-in and attendees.
8. After the event	Close it and handle late changes.

One-off or ongoing?

Conventions and weekends are one-off events. Club nights and seasons are ongoing: one event with a long date window. Most of this guide applies to both; where it differs, the page says so. Start with One-off vs ongoing events.

Where things live

Everything for your organization is under My Organizations in your dashboard sidebar. Open an event to reach its event hub: one place with links to tickets, sessions, the schedule builder, enrollments, attendees and check-in.
