How it works

Short walkthroughs for every part of thing. Watch the clip, or follow the written steps — both cover the same ground.

Build an event

From a blank page to something you're proud to share.

Create and publish your first event

The editor is a live preview — everything you change shows up instantly on the public page.

1Host Studio → Events → New event drops you straight into the editor.
2Set the title, date, location and cover, then write the description.
3Pick a theme and font pair under Design.
4Hit Publish — your page goes live at your calendar handle.

Agendas, sessions and speakers

Paste your run of show and let thing turn it into a structured agenda.

1Open the Agenda tab in the event workspace.
2Paste time-prefixed lines, then use Generate from description.
3Add speakers and rooms to each item.

Registration & tickets

Approvals, ticket types, waitlists and check-in.

Ticket types and approvals

Free, paid, invite-only or approval-required — all on the same page.

1Registration tab → add ticket types with capacity and price.
2Turn on approvals when you want to vet each guest.
3Review requests in the Approvals view.

Check-in on the day

Scan or search — no extra hardware needed.

1Open the event's Check-in view.
2Scan the pass QR or search by name.
3Watch live attendance update in metrics.

Meetings & deal flow

Let verified attendees book time with your team.

Publish meeting windows

Windows are bookable on their own — your team's personal availability just takes priority.

1Event workspace → Meetings → turn meetings on.
2Add one or more meeting windows.
3Optionally tag roster members who should take meetings.

Approve and assign requests

Requests land in your inbox with 48 hours to respond.

1Approve to auto-assign the person with the most open time.
2Approve & assign to pick someone specific.
3Both sides get a notification, an email with an .ics, and a calendar hold.

Planning workspace

Tasks, budget, venues and run of show in one place.

Run the project, not just the page

Every event gets a workspace for the work behind it.

1Open an event → Workspace.
2Add tasks with owners and due dates.
3Track budget lines and shortlist venues.

Calendars & profiles

Your personal page, and business calendars you drive.

Design your calendar page

A public home for everything you host, embeddable on your own site.

1Host Studio → Settings → Calendar page.
2Customise the header, style, sections and links.
3Copy the embed code from the Page tab.

Switch between profiles

Business calendars have their own contacts, meetings, billing and metrics.

1Use Profile Management at the top of Host Studio.
2Pick yourself, or any business calendar you drive.
3Everything below reloads scoped to that profile.

Metrics & reporting

What actually happened, and what it was worth.

Read your event metrics

Attendance, quality, buzz and attribution, per profile.

1Open an event → Metrics.
2Compare registrations against check-ins and meeting outcomes.
3Export a report to share with sponsors.
