Hosting your first event

Here is the overall flow for publishing an event on 4S. See each linked article for details.

From creation to publishing

1. Create the event — enter the event name and date to create a draft. See Event creation basics.
2. Fill in the basics — set the format, venue, and main image. See Choosing an event format and Customizing your event page design.
3. Set up tickets — create free or paid entry types. To sell prepaid tickets, link a Stripe account first. See Creating ticket types and Payments and payouts.
4. Configure details as needed — registration questions, approval, and staff. See Setting up registration questions, Setting up approval-based events, and Adding staff.
5. Publish — switch the status to "Published" in Settings so participants can view and register.

Before, during, and after the event

1. Send announcements — for reminders and venue guides, see Sending announcements to attendees.
2. Prepare day-of reception — for QR scanning operations, see Day-of check-in operations.
3. Collect feedback afterwards — see Collecting post-event feedback.
