# Create and publish your first event on Treasure

> Build an event page with a custom URL, cover image, ticket types, venue location, and a description — then publish it for attendees to find.

This page walks you through creating an event on Treasure from start to finish. You'll set up the core details — name, date, location, and cover image — choose a permanent URL slug, configure ticket types and vendor tables, then publish your event so attendees can find and book it.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the event editor">
    Go to [ontreasure.com/create](https://ontreasure.com/create) or click **Create Event** from your host dashboard. Treasure opens the event editor with an empty form.

    If you have a saved draft, go to your dashboard and click the draft to resume editing. Drafts are automatically preserved as you work.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter the event name">
    Type your event name in the large **Event Name** field at the top of the editor. This name appears on your public event page, in search results, and in all attendee communications.

    <Tip>
      Your event name is used to generate the permanent URL slug for your event page. Choose a clear, memorable name — for example, "Anime Convention 2025" becomes `/events/anime-convention-2025`. The slug cannot be changed after the event is published.
    </Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set the date and time">
    Click the date field to open the date picker and select the event date. Then enter a **Start time** and **End time** for the event.

    For multi-day events, click **Add date** to add additional dates. Each date can have its own start and end times. Tickets can be scoped to specific dates in the ticket editor.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add a location">
    Expand the **Location** section and fill in:

    * **Venue name** — for example, "Los Angeles Convention Center"
    * **Address** — start typing and select a suggestion from the dropdown to set the precise map coordinates

    The address you select populates the map shown to attendees on your event page.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Write a description">
    Expand the **Description** section and write a description of your event. Tell attendees what to expect: the event theme, featured guests, what's included in admission, and any other relevant details.

    Descriptions support plain text. Keep the most important information at the top.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Upload a cover image">
    In the right panel, click the **Poster** upload area and select an image from your device. Treasure uses this image as the cover photo on your event page and in link previews when you share the event URL.

    Use a high-resolution image (recommended: 1200×630 px) in JPG or PNG format for the best results on all screen sizes.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add tags">
    Use the **Tags** section to categorize your event (for example: Anime, Gaming, Art Market). Tags help attendees discover your event when browsing by category.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add tickets and vendor tables">
    Expand the **Tickets** section to create ticket types for attendees. Expand the **Tables** section to set up vendor table listings that vendors can apply for.

    See [Ticket types](/hosts/ticket-types) for a full walkthrough of pricing, quantity limits, and sale windows. See [Vendor management](/hosts/vendor-management) for how vendor applications work.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set your event status and publish">
    In the **Visibility** selector at the bottom of the right panel, choose one of three statuses:

    | Status       | What it does                                                                               |
    | ------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
    | **Live**     | Your event is visible in the event feed and open for purchases.                            |
    | **Draft**    | Hidden from the feed; no purchases allowed. Use this while setting up.                     |
    | **Unlisted** | Purchases are enabled, but the event does not appear in the feed. Share the link directly. |

    When you're ready, click **Create Event** to publish. Your event page is immediately accessible at its unique URL.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Edit an existing event

After creating your event, you can update any field at any time. Open your host dashboard, find the event, and click **Edit Event** to return to the event editor. Changes take effect immediately for live events.
