When you're ready to get started on the platform, please create an account and test event. 

You will be able to test a handful of features to get acquainted with our tools and resources. Creating an account and test event is required as it is imperative to the activation process detailed in upcoming steps.

The best practice is to have one person from your organization create an account and test event. 

Once created, you can add colleagues as administrators. They will be notified and prompted to create their log-in upon accessing the event. This prevents creating multiple profiles for the same organization, ensuring your team is under one roof. 

Create an Account & Test Event: 

1. Sign up for an Accelevents account

Create your Accelevents Account Here

2. Select Your Event Format

Select Online or Hybrid. Then select the Event Elements, such as Sessions and Expo. 

(Don't worry - you can change this later if needed!)

3. Enter Your Event Details

Enter the Event Name, Type, and Date. It is important to create an Organizer in this stage.

(Don't worry - you change this later if needed!)

4. ADD COLLEAGUES AS EVENT ADMINS

Once you've created your event, you will be placed in the event's Admin Console. Here you can add your colleagues that will be helping build the event. You can read about the different roles and their permissions in the article Virtual Event Access for Different Types of Event Roles.

How do I add Admins & Staff to my event? 

1. From the Admin Console, navigate to the Settings tab

2. Click Manage Team from the download menu > Click +Add Member

3. Enter the First Name, Last Name, and Email Address new staff member.

4. Select "Staff" or "Admin" in the permissions drop-down menu > click Submit.

Once submitted, the staff member will receive an email notification with a link to access the event. They will create their log-in upon accessing the event, therefore, they do not need to create an account and test event on their own. 

After completing the initial event setup, you will be redirected to the Event's Admin Console where you can get familiar with the platform! 

You can find additional test-event instructions in our Knowledge Base article "Create A Virtual Event From Scratch."

Your account will not be automatically activated under the TAMUS Enterprise license. 

The purpose of the test-event stage is to get your feet wet on the platform before building your first live event. 

Your test event will have limited access to certain features, and billing will not be attached.

When you are ready to move forward with the platform for your events, please follow the next steps.
