Best practices

  • Use descriptive titles — Make event names clear and informative so users can quickly understand the event purpose
  • Set accurate timezones — Always verify the timezone matches the intended audience or event location
  • Add thumbnails — Events with images attract more attention; use 16:9 ratio for best display
  • Write detailed descriptions — Include what attendees can expect, any prerequisites, and relevant links
  • Create events in relevant communities — Target the right audience by selecting the appropriate community
  • Schedule in advance — Give users enough lead time to plan for attendance
  • Monitor activities — Regularly check the Activities tab for engagement and respond to posts
  • Track attendees — Use the Attendees tab to understand participation rates
  • Livestream — Best for interactive sessions where you want attendees to stay within your platform
  • External link — Use when leveraging established conferencing tools (Zoom, Meet, Teams)
  • In-person — Provide complete address details so attendees can easily find the venue
