Creating an Event

Creating an event is a two-step wizard: Basic Details and Pricing. This article covers step 1. Scheduling (the Event Timings field) has its own article, and pricing is covered next.

Start creating

Go to Products → Events and click Create Event. You can also use the + New → Event shortcut in the top bar. The wizard opens on Basic Details.

Events list with a 'Create Event' button highlighted.

Create New Event page with fields for event details and a highlighted event name field.

To move on, click Continue. If a required field is missing, you will see "Please enter the mandatory fields". In edit mode you can click step headers to jump between steps; in create mode you move through them in order.

Basic event details

Event Name (required)

The event title, up to 50 characters (a counter is shown).

Event Timings (required)

The event's session date(s) and time(s). This is covered fully in Scheduling Event Sessions.

Event Image (required on create)

Upload a cover image. Accepted formats are PNG, JPEG, JPG, WebP, and AVIF, up to 5MB. The preferred size is 1080px x 720px.

The image is required when creating an event but optional when editing one, so you can update other details later without re-uploading it.

Event Description (required)

A rich-text description of the event, shown to learners.

Status (required)

Choose Published or Unpublished. It defaults to Published. Unpublished events are hidden from learners until you publish them.

Event Setup & Access

Mode of conducting (required)

The 'Create New Event' page with 'Virtual Event' selected as the mode of conducting.

Virtual Event: an online event.
In person: a physical event.

The next field changes based on your choice.

For virtual events: Event Platform (required)

Select the meeting platform. The options available depend on what is enabled for your account, and may include:

Zoom Meetings
Edmingle Live

GoTo Meeting
Zoom Webinars

Super Live

Platform-specific options:

Zoom Webinars offers an "Is Practice Room Enabled?" option.
Custom Link requires you to enter a valid meeting link (a URL).

You can also enable Easy Access for Guests: once the event is live, guests can join directly from the event page without logging in.

For in-person events: Event Location (required)

Create New Event page with Event Location field highlighted.

Enter the physical meeting location.

Event Manager (required)

Select the person responsible for the event.

Categories (optional)

Add one or more categories to classify the event.
