Create a New Event

Updated

 

The Goal: Create a new event in GrowthZone — from adding the event record through configuring its registration types, fees, discounts, and confirmation messaging — using this article as your start-to-finish roadmap.

Before You Begin:

  • You need staff access with permission to create and manage events.
  • Have your event basics ready: name, date(s), location, and a short description.
  • Decide in advance how attendees will register and pay so you can pick the right registration types and fees as you go.

Step-by-Step Instructions

To start, go to Events & Learning, Events section, click All Events. From there, work through the topics below in order — each link opens the detailed how-to for that part of building your event.

Common Pitfalls

  • Skipping registration setup before publishing: Add and order your registration types, fees, and discounts before you make the event live — otherwise attendees may hit a page with no way to register.
