Adding the solution to your account

When adding the event app to your account you will be taken to the setup wizard. This will enable you to preview the app, begin the setup of your agenda, and choose the branding for your app. This is not final and can be amended or updated at any time.
Watch the video in the app set up to understand more, or you can skip the setup at any time by clicking “skip set up” where you will be taken to edit mode and manage your app without the setup steps.

1. Follow the steps in the form to:
   1. Give your event a name
   2. Choose the event type – this will help create a sample agenda for you to build on
   3. Select the relevant time zone
   4. Select whether the agenda should display one standard time zone, or adapt to the time zone of the user viewing the agenda

   6. Select your event time – this should be the time of the first event of the first day and the time for the last event of the last day

2. Once you have completed the form, select continue and wait for the app to be created, including a sample agenda and app branding
