What are Events?
Events provides a single place to create public event pages, manage registrations, sell tickets, and check in attendees. Unlike Event Calendars and Community Events, it supports standalone public-facing events with ticketing, schedules, speakers, and attendee tracking.
Event Types and Locations
Choose the event type and location that match how attendees will register and join. These choices determine whether payment and location details are needed.
| Category | Option | What It Does |
|---|---|---|
| Event Type | Ticketed | Offers free or paid tickets through a checkout flow. |
| Event Type | RSVP | Collects free registrations without payment. |
| Location | In-person | Displays a venue address, map, and directions. |
| Location | Online | Provides joining instructions and a meeting link. |
Important: You cannot switch between Ticketed and RSVP after creating an event.
Multilingual Support for Events
Events displays available translations in the user's selected language, making event management and registration easier for international audiences. Missing translations appear in English.
Translated Experiences
Multilingual support covers both organizers and attendees:
- Organizers: Event creation, management, and settings.
- Attendees: Registration, checkout, tickets, and the Attendee App.
- Interface text: Labels, tooltips, validation messages, and empty states.
Supported Languages and Preferences
Events supports 13 languages: English, Spanish, French (Canada), French (France), Portuguese (Brazil), Portuguese (Portugal), German, Dutch, Italian, Danish, Norwegian, Finnish, and Swedish.
For HighLevel users, language settings are available at:
- Sub-account default: Sub-Account View > Settings > Business Profile > Platform Language.
- Individual preference: Sub-Account View > Settings > My Profile > Platform Language.
Events uses available translations for the selected language and falls back to English for untranslated text.
How To Setup Events
Follow the setup sequence to create your event, configure attendee registration, publish the page, and manage participants. Optional settings can be completed as needed.
Create a New Event
Start by defining your event type, public details, timing, location, and organizer.
Step 1: Open Events
From Sub-Account View > Memberships > Events, select + Create Event. The Events dashboard also lets you search and filter existing events by status.
Step 2: Choose Your Event Type
Select Ticketed for free or paid ticket checkout, or RSVP for free registration without payment.
Step 3: Add Event Details
Complete the event information shown on the public page:
- Event name: Up to 100 characters.
- Cover image: PNG, JPG, or GIF; recommended 1920 × 1080 px; maximum 5 MB.

- Description: Add formatted text, links, lists, or images.
Step 4: Set the Date and Time
Enter the start and end dates and times, select the event Timezone, and choose a 12-hour or 24-hour Display format. Ticket sales, sessions, and coupon periods use the selected event timezone.
Step 5: Set the Location
- In-person: Enter a physical address. The location and country information appear across relevant attendee pages, tickets, maps, and notifications.
- Online: Add a session title, meeting URL, optional image, and joining instructions. Keep the link hidden until the event begins or use a Custom schedule to control its visibility.
Step 6: Add Organizer Information
Enter the required Organizer name and Email address. You can also add a website, phone number, and organizer image (recommended 400 × 400 px, maximum 5 MB).
Select Create event. The event is saved as a Draft until published.
Configure the Event
From Sub-Account View > Memberships > Events, select the event to open its dashboard. Configure the relevant tabs before publishing.
Step 7: Create Ticket Types
For Ticketed events, select Tickets > + Add Ticket Type. Set the ticket name, Fixed price or Free pricing, quantity, and sale period. You can mix free and paid tickets.
The Tickets tab shows each ticket's status, including On Sale, Paused, Hidden, Not Yet on Sale, and Sale Ended. Sale periods use the event timezone.
Step 8: Add Coupon Codes (Optional)
Select Tickets > Coupon Codes to configure a coupon name, code, percentage discount, active period, and optional usage limits or ticket restrictions. Attendees enter the code using Have a coupon code? during ticket selection.
Note: Event coupon codes apply only to Events.
Step 9: Add Schedule and Speakers (Optional)
In Schedule, select Add schedule to enter a session title, time within the event window, stage or location, description, and assigned speakers.
In the Speakers sub-navigation, select + Add speaker to enter the speaker's name, photo, tagline, description, keynote status, and social links.
Step 10: Customize the Public Event Page
Select Pages & Design to configure event details, schedule, and checkout pages. Customize page sections, colors, typography, and templates.
In Checkout, configure the title and additional form fields. First name, last name, and email remain required. Use the mobile and desktop previews to review the result.
Step 11: Configure Settings and Sharing

Manage the Event
After publishing, use the event dashboard to review registrations, manage attendees, and handle check-in.
Step 13: Manage Registrations and Check-in
- Registrations: Review attendees, tickets, revenue, and refunds. Search or filter registrations, or use Add Attendee to register someone manually.
- Check-in: Scan attendee QR codes. Entry depends on the payment statuses allowed in the event's check-in settings.
