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:
| Section | What it does |
|---|---|
| Setup | Basic info, branding, layout & design, publish controls |
| Pages | Enable and edit each public-facing page (Home, Speakers, Schedule, Sponsors…) |
| Event Day | Live stream settings, live controls, polls, Q&A |
| Settings | Team 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.
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.
