Web + mobileEventsCreatorsBusinesses
Create and publish an event
Host any kind of event — free, paid, pre-sale, in person, virtual, hybrid, or page-hosted.
On web
- 1Choose Host an event or open Dashboard, then Create event.
- 2Add the event basics: title, description, category, cover image, visibility, age policy, and collaborators.
- 3Choose ticketing: free, paid direct checkout, interest list, pre-sale, or location-reveal pre-sale. Turn on Run a virtual challenge showcase to add free contestant applications and audience, judge, or hybrid recognition. New self-service showcases have no prize of monetary value and require the Scale creator plan.
- 4Add schedule, timezone, venue or virtual details, capacity, refund policy, and any ticket tiers or discounts.
- 5Review the summary and publish. Every event, free or paid, requires payout onboarding, and some page-hosted paid events require Business Plus.
- 6For a showcase, open the showcase manager while the round is a draft to order contestants and publish the first slot, per-contestant duration, optional transition time, and readiness deadline.
On mobile
- 1Tap the center Create tab.
- 2Complete Basics, Tickets, Schedule, and Review.
- 3Choose whether to post as yourself or as a page you administer when that option is available.
- 4Add pricing, capacity, pre-sale settings, location or virtual details, and refund terms.
- 5Tap Create or Publish. If a paid or virtual feature needs a plan or payout setup, finish that step on web if prompted.
Important notes
- Free accounts can host unlimited free in-person events and up to 3 paid events a month. Virtual and hybrid events (online classes, webinars, networking and mixers) require Creator Pro or Scale; virtual and hybrid challenge showcases require Scale. Every event needs a connected Stripe payout account.
- A one-hour run of show fits 20 three-minute contestant slots only when no transition time is added. Readiness is participant-attested, and a missed deadline never creates an automatic forfeiture.
- Pre-sales only charge if the disclosed minimum and deadline conditions are met.
