Getting started

The guided setup wizard

Describe your conference in a sentence and let AI draft the whole setup.

The guided setup builds a complete, ready-to-review conference from a short description — tracks, call for papers, review process, registration, emails and branding — all as a draft you approve before anything goes public.

Choosing guided setup vs a blank event on the new-event screen

Starting it

From your dashboard, choose Create event → Guided setup. You'll pick an event type:

Conference with call for papers — the full pipeline (submissions, review, decisions).
Registration-only event — a congress or summit: tickets, program and attendees, no paper submissions.

Step 1 — Describe your conference

Give it a name, dates, and a timezone, then write a short brief, e.g.:

3-day academic conference on applied cryptography in Berlin, ~200 attendees, double-blind review, two tracks (research + industry), CFP closing in about 6 weeks, student and regular tickets.

The more you say — field, scale, review style, tracks, tickets — the better the draft.

Step 2 — Review and edit

The AI drafts every section and drops you on a review screen. Nothing is created yet. You can:

Edit any field directly.
Regenerate a whole section, or Refine it with a note (e.g. "add a student track", "more formal tone").
Rewrite individual text with AI (descriptions, email bodies).
Switch off sections you don't want (registration, emails, branding).

Step 3 — Create

Hit Create draft conference. Everything is scaffolded in draft: nothing is public and no emails are sent. You land on a "done" screen with a checklist of next steps.

If your organization doesn't have AI enabled, the wizard still works — it drafts from sensible templates you can edit.
