Event Manager

Your complete guide to managing events and stand resources

Written by Support

Event Manager is a powerful add-on to the ONE platform, designed to support large-scale events like MIPCOM and other industry markets. It helps you organise events, manage meeting spaces, and streamline scheduling - all from one central hub.


Accessing Event Manager

To get started:

  • Navigate to Menu > Events


Events Dashboard

The Events Dashboard gives you an overview of all your events - past and present.

What you’ll see:

  • Status – Shows whether an event is Active or Inactive

    • Inactive events won’t appear in calendar dropdowns or reports

  • Report – View event reports

  • Duplicate Event – Creates a copy (prefixed with “Copy of”)

    • New events are set to inactive

    • Meetings and notes are not copied

  • Edit – Update event details

  • Delete – Remove an event (confirmation required)

  • Send Invites – Send meeting invites to all attendees

    • Includes an .ics calendar file

    • Can only be sent once per event


Creating an Event

Set up your event with the following sections:

Summary

  • Active Toggle

    • Makes the event visible to users

    • Admins can always see all events

  • Event Title

    • Appears in dropdown selections

  • Event Contact

    • Select a main contact from internal users

  • Event Timezone

    • Defines the timing for all meetings and invites

    • Important: Emails will reflect this timezone


Managing Locations (Rooms)

Locations represent the meeting spaces available during your event.

Add a location:

  • Location Name – e.g. Meeting Room 1

  • Nickname – e.g. Phil’s Room

  • Attendees – Max capacity

  • Meal Location Toggle – Enable if used for meals

Click Add New Location to create additional spaces.


Assign locations

  • Click Assign New Locations to save

  • Locations become available for meeting bookings


Delete a location

  • Only possible if no meetings are assigned

  • A confirmation message will appear before deletion


Stand Opening Times

When you set event dates:

  • Days are automatically populated

  • You can define start and end times for each day

Note:
This does not restrict meetings from being booked outside these times - it’s for guidance only.


Meal Slots

You can define meal time slots for your event:

  • Specify time ranges for meals

  • Assign these to meal-enabled locations

  • Add multiple meal slots as needed


Sending Invites

Once your event is ready:

  • Click Send Invites

  • Attendees receive:

    • Email invitation

    • Calendar (.ics) attachment

Invites can only be sent once per event, so double-check details before sending.


Tips

  • Set the correct timezone to avoid scheduling issues

  • Create clear and descriptive location names

  • Use nicknames for quick internal reference

  • Plan locations and meal slots ahead of busy events

  • Double-check details before sending invites


Event Manager gives you full control over event planning - from setting up meeting spaces to managing schedules and sending invites. It’s the perfect tool for handling high-demand industry events with ease and efficiency.
