How to set up a Web event?

Learn how to create your event step by step, if you have the VIRTUAL VENUE (Starter, Pro, Enterprise) or SUITE (Starter, Pro, Enterprise) license

In this article, we explain the minimum steps necessary to create an event Web 💻.

1. From your Meetmaps account, start by creating your event from scratch.

TIP 💡add yourself as a registered attendee 🍋 in the Attendee List to see how the Web looks.

2. Fill in the general information about the event (event name, dates, schedules, languages, social media, etc.).

3. Brand the event in your Web with images and a main color.

4. Configure the modules you are going to use according to the license you have purchased:

5. Configure the main page 🏠 (or Home) of the Web if you have activated the Home module in the previous step -4-.

6. Edit the tabs in the Properties 🔧 section that you are going to use:

Properties > Join Form: in case you have activated the Join form in Settings > Access 👉 What is the Join Form?
Properties > Profile: in case you have the Attendees module - Explore- 👉 What’s the Profile Tab in the Properties Module?
Properties > Edit Profile: in case you have the Profile module - Edit Profile- 👉 What’s the Edit Profile Tab in the Properties Module?

7. Fill in the content of the modules you have activated (steps 3 and 4), and that need content.

For example, Agenda, Speakers, Sponsors, etc.

TIP 💡 Activate the following toggles in Attendee List > Settings:

Show inactive attendees: Combine this with the automatic email "When receiving a chat message" (and add the link to access the Web), and you’ve got a winning option! 🏆
Show non-attendees enabled in meetings: This is ideal if you only have 1-to-1 Meetings. Pairing this with automated meeting emails will also encourage its use.

8. Via email - Campaign sends registered attendees 🍋 the username, password and the link to the Web.

NOTE 🗒️: Registered attendees have been previously added to the Attendee List in one of the following ways:
