About Events Manager

Events Manager is the internal workspace your team uses to run events — from a single-day workshop to a multi-day, multi-track conference. It's where every session, speaker, sponsor, vendor, and attendee lives, in one place, for the entire team.

• One workspace, many events. Whatever's coming up — past, present, future — it all lives here.
• Source of truth. Connected event websites read from Event Manager. Edit once, ripple everywhere.
• Plain English. No jargon, no statuses you need a manual to understand. Event status follows the calendar: Upcoming, Happening now, Past.

Events Manager is built around one mental model: everything belongs to an event. Sessions, sponsors, attendees, vendors — they all live under whichever event you've picked from the switcher at the top of the sidebar.

There are two exceptions, both global: the list of events itself, and the speaker directory — a master list of people you can reuse across events.

• Sidebar

  Three regions: Global (events list, speaker directory), This event (only appears once you pick one), and Workspace (settings, help, account).
• Event switcher

  The dropdown at the top of the sidebar. Pick an event to reveal its tabs.
• ⌘+K — Search anything

  Press ⌘+K from anywhere to jump to any event, session, speaker, sponsor, or attendee.
• Readiness checklist

  Every event's Overview shows what's still missing so the event is in good shape before it starts. Each item links straight to the page that fixes it.

Every event you create is part of your live workspace right away. Its public-facing status is derived from the dates: Upcoming, Happening now, or Past. There's no manual "go live" step.

The event's safe, public fields are readable through the public API for any non-archived event. Internal data (attendees, vendors, contact info, notes) is never exposed. To take an event offline, archive it — that removes it from the public API and from the main Events list. Archiving is reversible.
