One event, start to finish
Follow one night from six weeks out to the morning after. Under each step: what Eventbrite does.
Six weeks out
Turn on sponsor applications, and companies apply from your event page with a tier or their own amount. Their card is held until you approve. Or let our team find a sponsor for you.
Eventbrite suggests a ticket type for sponsors, and doesn't find them for you.
Two weeks out
Open the roles you need. Volunteers apply right from the event page, and everyone who helps is saved to your library for next time.
Eventbrite suggests a free ticket for volunteer sign-ups.
On the night
Scan tickets from your dashboard, watch the room fill in real time, and message the no-shows before the speeches start.
Eventbrite scans tickets at the door too.
The morning after
Send the survey, invoice your sponsor, and let your members' dues renew on their own. The next event starts with everyone you met at this one.
Eventbrite doesn't send invoices, and sells memberships as ticket types.
