3. Then, complete your event details:

4. Answer Other Setup questions:

Please note: public access means anyone can find your event (search engine optimized) and private access means only those who have your event’s web address/URL can find your event.

5. Then, customize your Event Website by updating the banner image, updating the event description and adding sections / content blocks:

6. Next, save and exit the Website Editor to set up your registration.

7. Set up your Registration Type:

EventCreate offers four registration options:

  • Simple Registration: the easiest registration type for free events because anyone with website access can reply.

  • RSVP Registration: a more private registration type for free events because it requires the event coordinator to upload names and email addresses for verification. Guests can reply only if they are on the list.

  • Ticketed Registration: the registration type for any event for which you want attendees to receive a ticket. Guests can purchase free or paid tickets.

  • Multi-Event Registration: a registration type best suited for larger, more complex events that are held over many days or on multiple dates/times.

8. Customize Form Questions, Confirmations, and Notifications:

  • Form Questions: Add custom form questions to collect additional biographical or event-specific information.

  • Confirmations: Customize the confirmation web page and confirmation email with event-specific information.

  • Notifications: Receive notifications when guests RSVP for your event.

Don't forget to customize your Text, Design, and Advanced Options:

  • Text: Update registration page heading, text, and logo.

  • Design: Use custom CSS to change colors and formatting.

  • Advanced: Choose to issue PDF tickets, update country code and time zone, disable registration, and allow attendees to cancel their registration.

10. Then, Publish Event:

  • Click the purple Publish Event button at the top of the screen. Then, the event is live and accessible to your guests.
