What event format suits your audience?
Choose the structure that matches how guests will participate.
Single event
One focused session with immediate value.
Deliver an impactful workshop, masterclass, or interactive activity in a single event.
Events with sessions
Build learning across multiple sessions.
Let participants dive deeper into a subject, with each session building on the last. Keep attendees coming back and foster community over time.
Recurring event
Create anticipation with a regular rhythm.
Weekly classes, monthly meetups, and quarterly seminars can help your audience stay connected, grow over time, and see you as a trusted expert.
Is your event paid?
Connect Stripe before selling paid tickets.
Start by linking a Stripe account to simplify payments. With Stripe, you can manage transactions and receive funds directly.
How do you set up an event?
Build the event, then publish it for guests.
Once you have set it up, you need to publish your event for it to go live.
Describe the event
Select a clear name and provide the event time, location, and categories. Add information about yourself, activities, target audience, guidelines, restrictions, and an image. You can also import and modify details from a previous event to save time.
Make sessions (optional)
If the event has multiple segments, create individual sessions for each part. Each session works as a mini-event within the larger event and can have its own schedule, description, and focus.
Set up ticket options
Create ticket options so attendees can register and pay. You can offer types such as early bird, VIP, or group discounts; set quantities and prices; and choose free or paid tickets based on the event needs.
Design ticket forms (optional)
Clear, relevant, user-friendly ticket forms help hosts collect guest contact details, preferences, and special requests, improving the guest experience and helping the event meet attendee needs.
