How do I create a new Event?

Events are created by Admins and used for scheduled meetings, info sessions, orientations, advising appointments, webinars, office hours, etc. Click here to learn more about Events.

With events, Admins can:

  • Invite travelers to register
  • Share the Advanced Sign-Up link with Travelers so they can self-register
  • Download the Sign-Up QR code and add it to your promotional material for easy registration
  • Track registration & attendance before, during, or after the event

Event brochures can be created, viewed, and edited from the Event Dashboard

To create a new event…

Because Via places no restrictions on naming events, Admins can use the same Event name over and over again (i.e., Pre-departure Orientation). Via recommends using a distinguishing naming convention (i.e., Pre-departure Orientation Fall 2022) to help when filtering, sorting and searching.

  1. Click Events in the main navigation menu
  2. Click + Create Event
  3. Enter the Event Name and Event Description
  4. Enter the Event Location and select your Start Date and Start Time

Via recommends uploading an image size of 1200 px by 300 px for the Events banner
