Create New Event

When you create a new event it will open in the program builder…because the program is the most important part of an event

Add rooms or locations

The 'where' is the room or location

Think about your event and think about the different spaces you will need

• Maybe a reception area and a main room
• Maybe a separate space for a lunch or dinner
• Could be STAGE ONE, STAGE TWO at a festival
• It might be an incentive activity like 'sailing'
  
  Add the room/locations you think you will need and don't worry about getting it exactly right as they are easy to rearrange, change or delete later.

Nicknames

You  may not know which venues you will use when you start to build the program so give each room location a nickname for quick reference

Venue details

Once you have decided on your venues you can start to add the details.

Drag and drop 

Hover over the left edge of the room/location header and the grab handle will appear

You can then drag and drop the room location to reorder if needed

Sessions

Sessions are the 'what' in your program

Sessions can be any audience experience

• Yoga by the pool
• Team building
• Anything

Add the sessions for each room/location
