Event Setup

Creating an event

1. Create Event → Event name, Organizer, Start/End, Currency, optional Description.
2. Click Continue / Create. Lands on the event dashboard.

Starts in Draft — delegates can't register until published (see below).

Event Settings — all tabs

Event sidebar → Event Settings. One page, tabs as anchors:

Tab	Configures
Event Details	Name, dates, description
Location	Venue / online details
Checkout	Homepage/checkout options
SEO	SEO title, description, keywords
Email & Templates	Sender email/name, footer, notifications, email templates — see below
Miscellaneous	Misc toggles, incl. Enable Abstract Management (see Abstracts & Reviewers)
Waitlist	Auto-process, offer timeout
Payment & Invoicing	Payment providers, invoicing
Platform Fees	SaaS-mode accounts only
Danger Zone	Destructive actions

Setting a conference's sender ("From") email

Event Settings → Email & Templates → Email & Notification Settings:

Field	Notes
Support Email	Replies and delegate queries land here
Sender name	e.g. Cardiology Summit 2026 — blank uses the default sender name
Sender email	e.g. summit@wiredin.ae — blank uses the default sender
Email footer message	Rich text
Notify organizer of new orders	Switch

Save. The sender email/domain must be verified with the email provider (Mailjet) first — unverified addresses fail to deliver or land in spam. Calix itself doesn't block unverified domains (no system-level check) — verify in Mailjet before setting a custom sender for a client event, don't rely on Calix to catch it.

Tickets

Event sidebar → Registrations & Add-ons (Tickets/Products):

1. Create Ticket → Name, Type (Free / Paid + price), Quantity available. Save.

Paid tickets route to Stripe checkout — use Free tickets for test runs (Stripe live keys only work in production).

Homepage Designer

Event sidebar → Homepage Designer:

Section	Fields
Images	Cover Image (1950×650px, 3:1, max 5MB)
Theme & Colors	Background Type (Color / Use cover image), accent/background colors, light/dark
Typography	Font family
Button Text	Continue Button Text (e.g. "Get Tickets")

Save Changes; live preview pane updates as you edit.

Registration Questions

Event sidebar → Registration Questions — custom questions delegates answer at registration, beyond name/email. (Exact field-type options not yet verified in this pass — confirm before relying on advanced settings.)

Approvals and Waitlist — not used as an approval gate

Two features can look like an approval gate: Waitlist (sold-out queue) and Approvals (only shown if "Require registration approval" is on in settings). Neither is Wiredin's approval process — locked decision, 2026-06-03. Leave both off; leave events on open registration. Need a gated event? Ask first — this is a decision, not a default.

Publishing

1. Switch Draft → Live (status control near the event name).
2. Public URL: https://<domain>/event/<id>/<slug>.

Then see Registrations & Check-in.
