Complete these steps to publish an event. Each step links to a more detailed page.
1

Create an account

Open the orriven console. On the sign-in page, choose Create one. An email address and a password are required.
2

Create an organization

An organization is the company account. Members, Business Units, and events belong to it. Provide a name and a slug (the short identifier used in URLs).Creating an organization also creates a default Business Unit. A Business Unit is the team that runs events. A single-team company can use the default unit. See Business Units.
3

Open the Business Unit

From the organization home, open the Business Unit. Day-to-day work happens here: events, members and roles, and settings (name, description, timezone, currency). To add colleagues, invite them and assign roles. This can wait until later.
4

Create an event

On the Events page, choose Create event. Events are created as drafts and stay private until published. Set the name, dates, and timezone on the event settings page. See Creating an event.
5

Configure ticket types

On the event’s Ticket types page, define registration options — for example “General admission” and “VIP” — each with its own capacity, sale window, and optional waitlist. Ticket types are also created as drafts; publish the types that should be on sale.This step is optional. An event with no ticket types uses simple registration. See Ticket types. A custom registration form can collect additional answers.
6

Publish the event

On the event’s Public page screen, choose Publish. Your site can then list the event and open checkout for it: the event page lives on your website, and orriven hosts the checkout, order, and entry-pass pages behind it. Record your page’s address on the same screen. See The event page and Hosted pages.
7

Review registrations

Registrations appear on the event’s Attendees page — who registered, which ticket type, and when. Attendees can also be added manually for walk-ins or guests. Registrations that came through checkout appear on the Orders page.
