# Quickstart

> From a new account to a published event taking registrations, in seven steps.

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.

<Steps>
  <Step title="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.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create an organization">
    An [organization](/en/concepts) 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](/en/organization/business-units).
  </Step>

  <Step title="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](/en/organization/members-roles) now — or come back to this
    later.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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](/en/events/create-event).
  </Step>

  <Step title="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](/en/ticketing/ticket-types), and you can attach a
    custom [registration form](/en/ticketing/registration-form) to ask your own questions.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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](/en/events/event-page).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Watch registrations come in">
    Registrations appear on the event's [Attendees](/en/events/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](/en/ticketing/orders) page.
  </Step>
</Steps>

  Everything on Orriven is free-to-attend today. You can run a complete event — registration,
  ticketing, agenda, housing, email — without touching money. Paid ticketing is on the way.
