Set up and publish a conference
The safe order of operations, from creating the program to making it available in the attendee app.
Recommended setup order
Build and review the conference while its status is Planning. Planning shows attendees a holding screen; Active unlocks the full conference experience.
Open Dashboard → Manage conference and app.
Select the program you intend to edit in the program selector.
Set the current conference to Planning and save the state.
Complete program details, categories, events, maps, content, design, services, food, and activities.
Turn on only the app features your team is prepared to operate.
Have a second person test the attendee app on a real device.
Change the current conference status to Active and save the state.
Before you make it active
Treat activation like publishing. Check that dates, rooms, links, maps, contact workflows, and service staffing are final enough for attendees to rely on.
