You can create an event in Eventify from the All Events screen of the admin panel. You choose a starting template, Eventify builds the event, and you land on its Overview page with the event ready to set up. Everything you configure later, from registration to the event app, starts here in the Eventify event management platform.

Pre-Filled Demo Event (marked Recommended) creates the event with sample content in place, so you can see how each section looks and replace it with your own. Start From Scratch creates an empty event for you to fill in.

Eventify now builds the event. The screen shows "It may take approximately 2-4 mins. Please do not close the browser window." Keep the tab open. When the event is ready, the admin panel reloads and opens the new event on its Overview page.
The Create a new event card only shows when your plan has events left. It isn't shown while you are searching the events list, so clear the search box if you can't see it.
Eventify can take you through a short Event Setup form. It opens, for example, when you choose to start fresh on your first event, or after an event's content has been reset. The form has three steps shown at the top: Event Details, Branding and Features.

On Event Details ("Lets get started by providing essential details about your event."):
On Event Branding you set how the event looks to attendees.
On the last step, Features, switch on the features you want for this event, then click Publish. Eventify saves your details and opens the Overview page.
Two limits can stop you:
To get more events or credits, upgrade your plan or contact Eventify support. See How to Upgrade or Renew Your Eventify Plan and Buy Add-ons and Understanding MAA Credits and License Usage in Eventify.
Once the event opens, the Overview page shows the Event Information card with your event link, Eventcode and Event Validity, and the Event Setup CheckList with the tasks still to do, such as registration, tickets, schedule and speakers. Work through the checklist and set your event dates before you share anything with attendees.
How do I create an event in Eventify?
Open All Events, click the Create a new event card, confirm with OK, and choose Pre-Filled Demo Event or Start From Scratch. The new event opens after 2 to 4 minutes.
Should I choose the demo event or start from scratch?
The demo event comes with sample content, which is useful the first time you set up an event. Start from scratch if you already know what you need and don't want to delete sample content.
Why don't I see the Create a new event card?
Your plan has no events left, or you have text in the search box. Clear the search, and if the card is still missing, check your plan's event limit.
Does creating an event use credits?
Every person who becomes active in the event uses a credit, and that includes admins. Check your usage before you invite people to a new event.
