      • Drive people to check in early by sending reminder emails, not disclosing that there will be morning of event check in.

    • Create an area, turn off "requires approval to join", launch Area, grab the Zoom join link, and then share the join link with speakers. (demo begins at 1:04:15)

    • An event slug is your event's unique URL - it is fully customoizable 
  • Recycling event dashboards

  • Customizing your welcome message (in the HERO BUTTON)
    • This is done through a merge code, it will auto load attendee's name into the welcome message - merge code = {{first name}}
