Getting Started

Follow these steps to go from a blank slate to a live conference website.

1. Create an event

From the dashboard, click Create event. You'll be asked for:

  • Event name — the public-facing title of your conference.
  • URL slug — the short identifier used in the URL (e.g. my-conf-2026). Must be unique and lowercase with no spaces.
  • Event type — In-person, Virtual, or Hybrid.
  • Start & end dates.

Click Create and you'll land in the event editor.

2. Dashboard overview

Every event has its own editor with a left sidebar divided into sections:

SectionWhat it does
SetupBasic info, branding, layout & design, publish controls
PagesEnable and edit each public-facing page (Home, Speakers, Schedule, Sponsors…)
Event DayLive stream settings, live controls, polls, Q&A
SettingsTeam members, integrations, analytics, danger zone

The Preview button in the top-right opens a live preview of your event site at any time — even before you publish.

3. Fill in the basics

Go to Setup → Basics to set your event name, dates, location, and URL slug. These details appear on your public event site and in search results.

Tip: Your event will be live at your-slug.confexo.com once published. Choose a slug that is short and memorable.

4. Publish your event

When you're ready to go live, click Publish in the top-right of the editor (or go to Setup → Publish). Your event site becomes publicly accessible immediately.

You can unpublish at any time to take the site offline while you make changes.

Next steps: Head to Branding & Design to set your logo and colors, then add your Speakers.
