Ticket Options

• Standard Ticket: A standard ticket for the event, no member or early bird discounts.
• Guest Ticket: A guest ticket for the event. Required if you want to charge attendees for their guests.
• Early Bird Ticket: An early bird ticket, generally lower price than a standard ticket. Will disappear as an option after the "Early Bird Period" ends.
• Standard Ticket (Members Pricing): A standard ticket available to members only. The member must be logged into his/her account to receive this pricing when registering for the event.
• Early Bird Ticket (Member Pricing): An early bird ticket available to members only. The member must be logged into his/her account to receive this pricing when registering for the event.
• Add-on Product: These are optional products that can be offered to attendees during the registration process. Unlike the other ticket types, the purchase of a add-on product is not required to complete registration process.

Timeline Tab

The timeline tab allows you to build a "schedule of events" for the event. Essentially, it allows you to give your attendees a schedule of what is happening at the event, the location that item is happening at, and the start/end date/time for each timeline entry.

Forms Tab

This section allows you to build both a primary registrant's registration form and a guest registration form. Please click here for information on the form builder.

Media Tab

This tab allows you to upload both cover photos and additional photos for the event. Cover photos appear at the top of the event's page (see below). If you upload multiple cover photos, the program will create an automatically rotating slide show of the images.

Additional photos appear on the events details page next to the event description.

You can crop and edit any image by clicking on the "Files" tab within the event management page. Click here for information on cropping and manipulating images.
