Publish your event site

Publishing an event generates its own mini-site on your website. You never design event pages by hand: which sub-pages exist (a registration page, an agenda, a sponsor wall) are toggles on the event itself. The register page creates a free RSVP, not a paid checkout; ticket types segment attendees and cap seats, but they carry no price. The event pages need the website events feature, which is not part of every workspace. An admin activates it once from the Apps page, and from then on every published event gets its own site.

Choose which pages appear

An event's site is a set of tabs, and each tab is a switch on the event. Turn on the master website menu, then turn on the individual pages you want.

1. Open the event and turn on its website menu. This creates the event's own set of pages.
2. Switch on Register so visitors can sign up.
3. Switch on Agenda (or Talks) to list the sessions in your schedule.
4. Switch on Propose a talk if you want the public to submit sessions for review.
5. Switch on Exhibitors to show the sponsor and exhibitor wall.
6. Switch on Community for attendee discussion where your workspace runs it.

Each switch adds or removes that tab. Turn off the ones you don't need so the menu stays short.

Set who can see the event

Visibility has two separate controls. Publishing puts the event on your public events list; the audience setting decides who can open its pages.

1. Publish the event. Until you do, it exists only in the backend and does not appear on your site's events list.
2. Set the audience:
   • Public — listed on your events page and open to anyone.
   • Unlisted (link only) — reachable by its direct URL but kept off the events list. Use it for a soft launch, when you want to share the page before you announce it.
   • Signed-in only — visible to people signed in to your site.

A published event set to unlisted is live but hidden from the list, so a visitor needs the link. That combination is the usual reason an event you published isn't on the events page.

Show a talk on the agenda

The agenda lists the tracks you built in the event's schedule — see Create an event. A track appears on the public agenda only when three things all hold:

1. The event's Agenda or Talks pages are switched on.
2. The track sits in a public stage. Stages like Announced or Published are public; a track still in Proposal or Confirmed stays hidden even when the track itself is published.
3. The track is published.

Speaker details (name, title, company, photo, and bio) live on the track, so fill those in on each session rather than on the event. A missing speaker photo or bio means the field on that track is empty.

Build the sponsor wall

The exhibitor page shows your sponsors grouped and ordered by tier. Each sponsor points at a contact record, and its logo and name come from that contact.

1. Add a sponsor to the event and pick the contact it represents. The logo and name are read from that contact — a blank logo means the contact has no image.
2. Assign a tier. The tier's order and its ribbon (for example Gold, Silver, Bronze) are set on the tier, and they control where the sponsor sits on the wall.
3. Choose the kind of listing. A plain sponsor shows as a logo; an exhibitor gets its own page with a description and booth details.
4. Publish the sponsor. Only published sponsors appear on the wall.
5. Turn on show on ticket if you also want the sponsor listed on the registration page.

An unpublished sponsor is the usual reason a logo you added isn't on the wall.

Take registrations on the page

The registration page creates a free RSVP. A visitor picks a ticket type, fills in the form, and registers; no payment is taken and no checkout runs. Ticket types are free categories with seat caps and open and close windows. For how registration, seat limits, and check-in work, see Registration & check-in. If you charge for attendance, bill registrants through Invoicing as a separate step.

Set the page's look

Each event page carries a cover image, a subtitle, and its own search settings (meta title, description, share image, and URL slug). Times on the page display in the event's timezone, so set that to your audience's clock — see Create an event. For how the per-page search settings work across your whole site, see SEO & getting found.

Why isn't my event page showing?

• The event isn't on the events list. It is unpublished, or its audience is set to unlisted or signed-in only. Publish it and set the audience to Public.
• A tab is missing. Its switch is off on the event, or the feature behind it (agenda, exhibitors) isn't enabled on your workspace.
• A talk isn't on the agenda. Check the three-part rule above: the agenda page is on, the track sits in a public stage, and the track is published.
• A sponsor is missing from the wall. It isn't published, or its contact has no logo image.
• There's no public page at all. The website events feature isn't active — see Turn apps on and off.
