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.
