Create Your First Event

An event is the container for one booth session. It has its own settings, templates, sharing options and photo gallery.

Create the event

1. Click Events in the top tabs.
2. Click Create event.
3. Enter a name, for example "Smith Wedding". The name is the only required field.
4. Optionally set the Event Date and Event Start Time.
5. Under Booth type, choose how you will run it:

• iPad: the guest booth app on an iPad, or a Sharing Station.
• DSLR: a DSLR or mirrorless camera on an iPad or a Mac.
• Mirror: a mirror booth, on a Mac only.
• 360: a 360 booth.
• Virtual: guests open a link on their own phone, with no app or hardware.

6. Optionally click Add cover to add a picture, or Copy settings to start from one of your earlier events. Copy settings carries over that event's configuration, so you do not start from scratch each time.
7. Click Create event.

A booth type that is greyed out is not included in your current plan. See Plans compared.

How many events can I run?

During the 14-day trial you can run up to two events at the same time, with two devices. If a new event overlaps with others beyond your limit, you see a warning, and you can still save it.

Your event page

After you create the event you land on its page, which has Overview, Captures, Stats and Settings tabs. In Settings you set up the screens, photo layouts, effects, sharing and printing. You can change these settings later, including while the event is running, but not the booth type.

Depending on the booth type, the page also gives you a gallery link, your Sharing station, a Showcase, a Survey, or, for a Virtual booth, Copy booth link.

Next step

Open the event in the booth app. See Pair the iPad App.
