This walkthrough takes you from signing up to watching registrations arrive. Each step links to the page that covers it in depth — skim now, come back when you need the details.
1

Create your account

Open the Orriven console and choose Create one on the sign-in page. All you need is an email address and a password.
2

Create an organization

An organization is your company on Orriven — members, business units and events all live inside it. Give it a name and a slug (the short identifier used in URLs).When the organization is created, a default Business Unit is created with it automatically. A business unit is the team that actually runs events; if your whole company is one team, the default one is all you ever need. Learn more in Business Units.
3

Open your Business Unit

From the organization’s home, open your business unit. This is where day-to-day work happens: its events, its members and their roles, and its settings (name, description, timezone, currency). If colleagues will help run events, invite them and set their roles now — or come back to this later.
4

Create an event

On the Events page, choose Create event. Events are created as drafts — nothing is public until you publish. Set the basics (name, dates, timezone) on the event’s settings page. See Creating an event.
5

Configure ticket types

On the event’s Ticket types page, define what people can register as — for example “General admission” and “VIP” — each with its own capacity, sale window and optional waitlist. Ticket types are born as drafts too; publish the ones you want on sale.You can skip this step entirely: an event with no ticket types runs simple one-click registration. Details in Ticket types, and you can attach a custom registration form to ask your own questions.
6

Publish the event page

Every business unit has its own portal — a public website where its events are published. On the event’s Event page screen, review the public URL and choose Publish. From that moment, anyone with the link can register. See Event page.
7

Watch registrations come in

Registrations appear on the event’s Attendees page as they happen — who registered, with which ticket type, and when. You can also key in attendees manually for walk-ins or guests, and every registration that came through checkout shows up on the Orders page.
