Creating an Event

Walk through the new-event form and what happens after you save.

3 min readUpdated May 27, 2026

Open the form

From the sidebar, click Events, then New event in the top-right corner.

Fill the basics

  1. 1Give your event a name. This is what attendees and partners will see.
  2. 2Pick a start and end date. Single-day events use the same date for both.
  3. 3Add a short description — one or two sentences is plenty for now.

Save and continue

When you save, you'll land on the new event's Overview. The readiness checklist will guide you through the rest — venue address, sessions, speakers, and so on.

Note
Every event you create is part of your live workspace right away. Its public status (Upcoming, Happening now, Past) is driven by the dates you set. If you want an event out of view entirely, archive it.
