Just follow these instructions and you'll be well on your way to an awesome event on Remo ✨
1. Register for a Remo account or log in to your Remo account here
2. Click the 'Create Event' button in the upper left-hand corner
If this is your very first event, you'll be asked whether you want to create a fully customized event or jump into a pre-configured event.
If you choose to create a customized event you can follow the instructions below.If you choose to jump into a pre-configured event, you can still click the menu button in the upper left corner of your screen, select 'Event Settings', and then follow along
3. Now you'll see what we call 'Event Settings' - this is where you can input all your event-related information (like your event name, and timings) AND build out your very own Remo event space.
Don't worry, we'll take you through each step and what you need to know below!
BASIC SETTINGS
Fill in your Basic Details to get started:
a.First, you need to indicate if its a public or private event (to see the difference between a public and private event, check out this article)
b. Event title (you can have a maximum of 68 characters for your title)
c. Start and End Time: Ensure the length of your event corresponds to the Remo plan you’ve chosen.
d. Event Image: The image that your guests will see when they land on your event’s landing page, make sure it correlates to the nature of your event! (you can add GIF images here as well for some movement on your event landing page)
Remo has built-in floor plans with 4 themes that you can choose from for your event.
You have the option to create your own and your very own design. To learn more about how to create your own, please click here.
Expected Attendance
This is where you can set the number of expected attendees you are planning to have. This number also controls how many floors you will have in your event (depending on the floor plan you've selected).
Also,this number cannot be edited once the event starts, so remember to add some buffer!)
Tip: It is also possible to have less than 100 attendees with multiple floors. This can be done if you create a customized floor plan with lesser seats. Learn more about it here.INVITATIONS

2. Lobby and Welcome
Decide if you would like to set up a lobby (like a waiting room) and/or a welcome message for your guests when they join your event: 
a. Lobby: When enabled, the lobby is by default opened 20 minutes prior to your event starting, so guests joining a little earlier, can wait in the lobby until you (the host) allow them to enter your event space. With the lobby, the host can also control which participants enter when (for example, if you have special VIP's that need to join first, the lobby can help you do that. For more ideas on how to use the lobby, click here. You also have the option to enable or disable even if the event has already started.
b. Welcome message: Enabling the welcome message means you can craft a special message to show to guests when they first enter your event (it can be an onboarding tip, a special announcement, or simply a "Welcome to the event!" message). For more information, check out this article (link to welcome message article)
3. Floor Content
On the floor plan tab, you have the option to set up your left and right billboards.
Remo’s floor plan designs come with two default billboards
a.Left billboard
You can add a video by inserting a Youtube, Vimeo, or Twitch video link (please make sure to use the original link and not a shared link)
b. Right billboard
Designed for text-based information, you can utilize this space to write a welcome message, your agenda, or any important information for your guests. All you have to do is add the billboard title and content you’d like to post.
4. Sponsors
Who says that sponsors would only work in a physical event? Well, it works just as well, or even better in Remo events.|
Set up your sponsor banners by clicking on the ‘Add Sponsor’ button (check out this article for exact details)
Different floor plans come with varying numbers of sponsor banners. So make sure you have enough before the start of your event!
5. Feature Toggles
You can easily turn these features on or off depending on how you plan to run your event. When it is blue, it means the feature is on.
6. Event Agenda
Setting up an event agenda ensures that your content and event schedules are organized and easily accessed by both your team of event organizers and your guests.
To add to your event agenda, click on the ‘Add New Item’ icon (check out this article to find the next steps).
