Creating New Events

Setting Up Your Event

Explore how to create a new event and all the settings that can be customized to manage your event better.
  • Start and End Date – enter the start and end dates of your event
  • Event Location Time Zone – for automatic date/time offset calculations
  • Event Currency – sets the default currency for this event
Tip: Once set, this cannot be changed.
  • Enable Multi-Currency – this option turns on multi-currency, so you can assign multiple currencies to items that require payment, and create interactive sites and merge docs in different currencies
  • Office – if you have enabled the optional Office feature (managing multiple office locations), you must assign this event to a specific office
  • Clone From – this option lets you copy an entire event setup from one that is already created. (No contact records or financial information is copied over.)
  • Event Group – if you created an Event Group item in System Settings, you can enter it here
  • Venue – the venue your event is being held at
  • City, State, Country – where your event is being held
  • Alias – if you would like to assign a simple URL alias (e.g. webmarketing2016 instead of Web-Marketing-Conference-2016), you can enter it here
Tip: Remember that this alias will be visible to end users as part of the URL for all websites.
  • Contact Store – if you have created an EventsAIR Contact Store, you can link that Contact Store to the new event you are creating
Tip: Once you set the Contact Store in Event Setup, it cannot be changed, so be sure to select the correct one.
  • Event Logo Image – you can upload your event logo here. It will be resized to 400 pixels wide, and an image that is more or less square in dimensions works best.
  • Modules – you can select which modules to make active in this event. Please note that once you build your event, you are not able to change the module selections.
