Creating Your First Event

Setting up an event is the first step to accepting submissions and managing your conference.

​
Quick Start

  3. Enter the Event Title (e.g., “AI Summit 2026”).

FAQ

Q: Can I change the Short Title later? A: No, the Short Title defines your unique URL and cannot be changed after creation to prevent broken links. Q: What is the difference between Title and Short Title? A: Title is the full display name (e.g., “International Conference on Quantum Computing”). Short Title is used for the URL (e.g., “ICQC2026”).
