Event setup

Event setup holds everything the public event page shows, in one card per topic.

Setup cards

Card	What it holds
Basic information	Cover image, title, short summary, full description, category, event type and technical topics.
Date & location	Start and end, time zone, format, venue and the online event link. The link is shared with registered attendees only.
Organized by	Organizer name, public contact email, website, IEEE region and partner organizations.
Team	Who can manage the event.
Audience & topics	Target audience, experience level and tags. Used by the events page filters.
Registration	Dates, capacity, waitlist and approval mode.
Publishing	Visibility, public URL, featured placement and search engine visibility.

The checklist beside the cards lists what an event needs before it can be submitted or published. Each item is ticked as you fill it in.

A title, a short summary and a description.
Dates and a time zone.
A venue, city and country for in-person events, an online link for online events, both for hybrid.
An organizer name and a contact email.
A primary category and at least one target audience.
A published registration form, when registration is required.

Option	Effect
Visibility	Public events are listed on the events page. Unlisted events open only from their link.
Public URL	The address of the event page. It is fixed once the event is first published.
Request featured placement	Asks platform admins to feature the event on the events page.
Search engine visibility	Off keeps the event page out of search engines.

On a published event, Publish changes puts edits live at once. Attendees are not emailed: use Notify attendees for that.
