Before You Create
Before opening the event creation flow, confirm two things: what the event is for, and who it is for. A clear answer to both makes every other decision faster — the title, description, event type, ticket setup, and location all become easier when you know the purpose and audience precisely.
The Event Creation Flow
Step 1: Start a New Event
From the taron app, open the Create Event flow. This takes you through the required steps in sequence.
Step 2: Add the Event Name
Use a title that clearly describes the experience. Attendees will see this in their feed, search results, and ticket. Clarity beats cleverness here — "Lagos UX Design Meetup — August" tells people more in two seconds than "Creative Gathering Vol. 4."
Step 3: Choose the Event Type
Select the type that matches how people will attend:
- In-Person — attendees come to a physical location
- Online — attendees join remotely
- Hybrid — both in-person and online participation
- Audio — sound-only format, no video required
- Flash — short-notice, time-limited experience
The type you choose determines what access details you will need to provide. Do not choose a type for aesthetics — choose the one that accurately describes the experience.
Step 4: Set the Date and Time
Confirm the date and time carefully. For online and hybrid events, make the timezone clear for any attendees who may be joining from different locations.
Step 5: Add Location or Online Access
For in-person and hybrid events, add the venue name and address. For online and hybrid events, add the access instructions or link. Attendees rely entirely on what you enter here — incomplete access information causes the most preventable event-day problems.
Step 6: Write the Description
Your description should answer four questions without the reader having to dig: What is this? Who is it for? What will attendees experience? Is there anything they need to know or prepare? A description that answers these questions clearly reduces questions from attendees and increases registration confidence.
Step 7: Add Event Media
Upload a cover image that visually represents the event. Attendees see this before they read the description. A clear, relevant image builds confidence; a blurry or unrelated one creates doubt.
Step 8: Set Up Tickets
Decide whether the event is free or paid. For free events, registration still generates a ticket and allows for taronPass check-in. For paid events, set your ticket types, prices, and quantities. Review ticket names carefully — attendees should understand what each ticket includes without needing to ask.
Step 9: Review the Event Page
Before publishing, review the full Event Page as an attendee would see it. Check for: incomplete access details, unclear ticket descriptions, date and time accuracy, and whether the description makes sense to someone who knows nothing about the event.
Step 10: Publish
When everything is accurate and complete, publish. Your event becomes discoverable and registration opens immediately.
After Publishing
Monitor registrations and respond to any attendee questions that come through. If anything changes — time, venue, access link — update the event and communicate clearly to registered attendees. Your event page is the source of truth; keep it current.
