Creating and editing an event
What the event form asks for, which fields matter most, and how the publish toggle works.
From the dashboard's Events tab, use Create event. The form is long because events are not all alike — most of it is optional.
What is required
A title, a short description, a full description, a start date, a location, at least one category and at least one tag. Everything else can be added later by editing the event.
What is worth filling in anyway
- Cover image. The single biggest difference to how an event performs in listings.
- Format — online, in person or hybrid — and, for online or hybrid, a meeting link. That link never appears on the public event page — it reaches each buyer on their own ticket and in their confirmation email, once payment has cleared. An online event shows a "This event takes place online" panel instead of a map, and its attendees get the joining link rather than a QR-code PDF, so there is nothing to scan at a door that does not exist.
- Level and language, so the right people find you through filters.
- Agenda. Named time slots with times and descriptions. The earliest slot becomes the event's displayed start time.
- Registration deadline. Drives the countdown on the event page and closes sales when it passes.
- Speakers and sponsors, each with photos, roles and links.
- Highlights — the "what to expect" bullets.
- Refund policy. Plain text, shown to buyers right next to your tickets. Events without one say so, which reads worse than a short honest policy.
Publishing
A toggle at the bottom controls visibility: Published — visible to everyone, or Hidden — only you can see it. Hidden events are invisible everywhere — listings, search, direct links, calendar exports — to everyone but you. New events are published by default.
There is no approval step and no queue. Publishing is immediate, and you can flip an event back to hidden at any time.
Editing
Open the event from the dashboard and use its Edit tab. Changes go live as soon as you save.
