Create your first event

Before you start

You'll need an Eventira account with a role that can create events (Owner, Admin, or Event Manager). If you haven't invited your team yet, you can do that afterwards — see Invite your team & set roles. Check your plan's event limit too; draft events don't count against it, but publishing does.

Steps

1. Open the dashboard and start a new event

   Log in and go to your organisation dashboard. Click + New event in the top right.

2. Name the event and set the basics

   Give the event a clear internal name, then set the start and end dates, timezone, and event type (in-person, virtual, or hybrid). These drive defaults across the Event Hub, so it's worth getting them right up front.

   Heads up: Double-check the timezone before you invite anyone — it controls every displayed session and registration time on the event website and app.

3. Choose a starting point

   Pick a template close to your event type (conference, workshop, roadshow, etc.) to pre-fill common pages and settings, or start from a blank canvas if you'd rather build from scratch.

4. Confirm and open the Event Hub

   Review the summary and click Create event. You'll land in the Event Hub — the control centre for your schedule, attendees, website, and reports.
