Event information
Learn how to correctly set up the key configurations for your event – from title and location to images and online options.
Event information
In the Event Information section, you set all the overarching configurations for your event. This includes the title, location, layout, and images. These details determine how your event appears on the event website, in e-tickets, and in booking confirmations.
Event title
The event title appears in several places:
- On the event website
- In the calendar file
- On the e-ticket
- In notifications, such as booking confirmations
💡Tip: Choose a concise title that clearly communicates the event’s content and target audience.
Layout
You can choose between two layouts for the event website:
- Standard
- Wide screen
The layout affects how content and images are displayed on the event website.
Main image
The main image is displayed as the header on the event website.
Recommended size:
- Standard: 1,650 × 1,100 px
- Wide screen: 2,712 × 986 px
👉 Note: For more information on image formats and optimisation, see the article on images.
Venue
In the venue field, you can either:
- Select a predefined venue from the list
- Enter a new venuevia Google Maps
For online events, a venue is not required.
💡Tip: Oniva allows you to set venues flexibly across different levels, such as in the event information, individual booking options, or for specific sessions. For example, a VIP reception might take place at a different venue than the main event.
Best practice: If all options take place at the same venue, entering it once in the event information is sufficient.
Organisations
Here you can select organisations that will appear as organisers on the event website.
- Organisations are created in the workspace
- They can then be linked to the event
Contact persons
Contact persons are displayed on the event website as points of contact for guests.
- Only existing accounts can be added as contact persons
- People without an account cannot be added as a contact person
💡Tip: Contact persons do not automatically receive admin rights. Anyone who needs to edit the event must be added as an admin in the event settings. For more information, see the article on account roles and permissions.
Categories
Categories help you organise and filter your event internally.
- Categories are created in the workspace
- They can then be linked to the event
- Useful for event libraries and internal organisation
Description
The event description appears on the event website and in the calendar file.
💡 Tip: Keep the description clear, engaging, and informative so guests immediately understand what the event is about.
Online event
Mark an event as virtual to either:
- Add a video stream, or
- Link to an external video solution
💡Tip: You can mark the entire event as online or define only specific booking options as online. If the event is fully virtual, activate the “Online Event” option in the event information. For hybrid events or when only certain sessions are online, you can selectively mark individual booking options as online. This allows flexible combinations of in-person and online participation. More information can be found in the article on virtual events.
Additional content
With additional content, you can add extra elements to the event website, such as:
- Images
- Links
- Documents
💡Tip: Use additional content to provide guests with useful information and highlight important event details.
