Setting Up a Virtual Event

Step 1 - Create an Event

Start by creating an event from your Mission Control.  You may need to contact Cause Machine to open permissions for hosting a Virtual Event depending on your subscription plan.

Mission Control

Step 2 - Load General Information

Next enter general information to get your event initially setup.  This step is one page and will take you just a few minutes to complete.  Here's what you need to get started:

• Event Name - what is the title you want people to see for this event?
• Date Range - enter the event start and end date and time (make sure to enter the time zone too)
• Event Type - choose virtual event
• Event Privacy - most are public
• Event Overview - basic over of event that displays on the event page
• Event Info - additional event information that's visible when a viewer clicks a "view more" button
• Registration Windows - how long does someone have to register for the event
• Logo - add an event logo (this is a different file from your community logo but maybe the same logo - if the same you still need to load the image here)

Step 3 - Publish

Once complete, click publish (or save as draft if desiring to keep the site in a draft mode).
