How to Create an Event in the Sequel Admin Dashboard

  1. From the Events tab, click on +New Event

  2. Select the type of event you want to create.

  3. Enter the name, time zone, event duration, and specify if the event is a single event or recurring event.

    1. If recurring, complete the additional steps which include the cadence of the recurring event and when the series of recurring events will end.

    2. For Simulive and On-Demand content, upload assets or select from Media Hub to continue setting the event.

  4. Select Create Event in the bottom right once done. This will take you to the newly create event's dashboard.

  5. From here, upload your banner image. This will be the video placeholder when you're not live or casting.

  6. From this view, you can:

    1. Customize the look of the virtual stage.

    2. Configure emails and settings.

    3. Add hosts, presenters, and participants.

    4. Setup embed code.

      You can learn more about customization here.

Once your event is created, you can preview it by selecting the eye on the event card within the Events tab.

How to set up your Event Registration

  1. Within the event, click on "Event Settings"

  2. From event settings, go to Registration tab. You can learn more about the registration options here.

  3. Add the URL where you embedded the Sequel iframe under the Registration section so we know where to send your Hosts, Presenters, and audience.

  4. Head over to the Participants tab to add your Hosts' and Presenters' emails.

  5. If you haven't already, check email settings for content.
    *If you want to change the default template for your events, X out of the current event and head over to the Emails tab in the main Sequel dashboard.

  6. That is it! You are ready to embed! Head over to the Embed tab to access your HTML embed code.

Want to change your event? No problem! You can edit your Virtual Stage at any time through the Event Settings after it has been created. Just keep in mind that any change to the day, time, or embed URL of the event will prompt you to resend confirmation emails to your registrants so they have updated information!

To create a new Networking Hub, follow these instructions.
