Creating an event

Step 1. Start creation

On the dashboard home page, click the "+ Create event" button or go to "Events" > "Create".

Step 2. Basic details

Name — shown to attendees on the event page and in the registration form. Maximum 200 characters.

Event type — choose from 23+ options:

  • Conference, seminar, webinar
  • Workshop, exhibition, festival
  • Corporate event, team building
  • Children's party, wedding
  • Scientific conference, networking
  • Online conference, hybrid event
  • And more

Description — supports Markdown formatting. Displayed on the public event page.

Cover image — upload an image at 1200x630 px (1.91:1 aspect ratio). Used for social media sharing and the event page header.

Step 3. Date and time

Specify:

  • Start date and time
  • End date and time
  • Timezone — IANA identifier (e.g., Europe/Moscow). Optionally add a human-readable name ("Moscow time").

When the end date arrives, the event status automatically changes to "Completed" (if it was "Published").

Step 4. Venue

In-person: enter an address — autocomplete is available. A map will be displayed on the event page for attendees.

Online: enter a stream link (Zoom, YouTube, Telegram, etc.). The link can be hidden until a certain time or until registration is confirmed.

Hybrid: both fields are available.

Step 5. Slug (unique URL)

The slug forms the event URL: app.tikento.com/events/{slug}/register.

Rules:

  • Only lowercase letters, digits, and hyphens ([a-z0-9-]{2,32})
  • Unique within your organization
  • Reserved words cannot be used: api, app, widget, admin, www

tikento automatically generates a slug from the name. You can change it before publishing.

Step 6. Additional settings

Visibility: the is_public flag determines whether the event is indexed on the tikento platform. Public — yes. Private — accessible only via direct link.

Age restrictions: 0+ / 6+ / 12+ / 16+ / 18+ / none.

Capacity: maximum number of attendees. Depends on your plan (Free — 100, Pro — 500, Business — 2,000, Enterprise — unlimited).

Draft and publishing

An event is created with a "Draft" status — it is not visible to attendees and does not accept registrations. Come back to it later and click "Publish" when you're ready.
