Use the event wizard to set up your event details, agenda, and tickets.
Follow this guide to create your event from start to finish. You'll go through a 5-step wizard.
Step 1: Essentials
This is where you set up the basics of your event.
Title - Give your event a clear, catchy name.
Date and time - Pick your start and end date/time. Eventship uses your event's timezone, so attendees see times in the right zone.
Timezone - We auto-detect your location, but you can change this if needed.
Location
- In-person event - Enter the address or venue name
- Online event - Add your virtual meeting link (Zoom, Google Meet, etc.)
- Hybrid - Offer both in-person and online options
Cover image - Upload a photo that captures the vibe of your event. This appears on your event page and in searches.
Step 2: Agenda (optional)
If your event spans multiple sessions or has speakers, add them here.
Add a session:
- Session title
- Start and end time
- Location or room (if multiple venues)
- Description
Add a speaker:
- Speaker name and title
- Bio
- Profile photo
You can skip this step if your event doesn't have scheduled sessions.
Step 3: Tickets
Set up ticket types for your event.
Create a ticket type:
- Name (e.g., "General admission" or "VIP")
- Price—free or paid amount
- Capacity—how many spots available?
- Description (optional)
Registration questions:
- Add custom questions attendees answer during signup
- Make questions required or optional
- Types: short text, long text, dropdown, multi-select, checkbox
Questions help you learn more about your attendees.
Step 4: Sponsors (optional)
Set up sponsorship packages if you want companies to sponsor your event.
- Create tiers with names, descriptions, and prices
- List the benefits sponsors receive at each tier
- Set how many sponsorships are available per tier
- Sponsors can purchase packages directly from your event page
Step 5: Launch
Review all your details. Make sure everything looks good.
Then choose:
- Publish now - Your event goes live immediately and people can register
- Schedule ticket sales - Pick a date and time for tickets to go on sale. Your event page shows a countdown until then
- Save the date - Email your followers when the event or ticket launch goes live
If your event has paid tickets or sponsorships, you'll need to connect your Stripe account before publishing.
After you publish
Your event page is now live and shareable. You can:
- Share the link on social media, email, or anywhere
- See registrations and attendee details in real time
- Send announcements to registered attendees
- Edit the event (title, description, image, tickets, agenda)
Followers are only emailed automatically if Save the date was turned on for the event. If you did not turn it on, send a broadcast to everyone who's followed you to announce the event manually.
Tips
- Save as draft anytime—you don't have to finish in one go
- Clone a past event to save time if you host similar events regularly
- If you change the date, time, or location, registered attendees can be notified about the update
- You can't change a free event to paid after people register, so plan your pricing ahead
