Creating your first event

From your dashboard choose New event (or Create event). The wizard has four steps and saves a draft as you go, so you can leave and come back from Dashboard → Events.

Step 1 — Details

• Title (at least 3 characters) and description (at least 10). Say what the event is and who it's for.
• Category and format: In person, Virtual or Hybrid.
• Starts and Ends, plus the time zone the times are in.
• Where is it happening? For in-person and hybrid events add the venue name and city (street address and country help guests too). This shows on the event page and in the order confirmation email.

Optional: Create with AI drafts a title and description from a short prompt. Always read and edit it — you'll be asked to confirm you've reviewed an AI draft before it can be published.

Step 2 — Tickets

• Add ticket for each type (for example “General admission” and “VIP”).
• Set the price in US dollars — use 0 for a free ticket — and how many you're selling.
• Your tickets are saved when you continue. You can change ticket types until the event is published.

Step 3 — Media

Optionally paste the web address of an image that's already online to use as the banner. Leave it blank to use the default.

Step 4 — Publish

Check the summary and press Publish. Your event goes live at zoenation.com/events/<your-event> — share that link wherever your guests are. You can still edit the details afterwards from Dashboard → Events.

After publishing

• New orders appear under Dashboard → Bookings, and buyers get a confirmation email plus their ticket as a PDF.
• Want a discount? Create one under Dashboard → Promo codes.
• On the day, check guests in with the Scanner.
