Create and publish your first event

For anyone organising on Smappo for the first time.

In a few minutes your event has its own page, with registrations and tickets in one place instead of scattered forms and spreadsheets.

Before you start you'll need: a Smappo account, and your event's title, date and venue. A nice cover photo helps, but you can add it later.

  1. Open your dashboard and press Create event.
  2. Write the title, description, date and time. Choose whether the event is in person (search for the address) or online (paste the link).
  3. Upload the cover: it's also the preview people see when you share the link.
  4. Press Save draft. Nobody can see the event yet, so you can change everything as often as you like.
  5. In the event dashboard add at least one ticket, free or paid, with the places available and the registration form.
  6. Press Publish event, accept the organiser terms and share the link.

Good to know

  • Free events cost nothing. On paid tickets there's a small fee only when you sell, and you choose whether you or the buyer pays it.
  • You can edit the event after publishing it too. If you change the date or time, attendees and Ambassadors get a notice from us; if you change the venue, let them know yourself with Write to attendees.
  • On the event page you'll find Content and graphics for social media: text and images ready in the right formats to share it on social.
