# Create Event

This guide walks you through the complete process of creating an event in **Ticket Spot**. You’ll set up core **event details**, **configure tickets**, **customize emails**, **manage waitlists**, **add custom fields**, **assign hosts**, and adjust **display settings**—everything required to build a seamless attendee experience.

By completing these steps, you ensure your event is organized, easy for attendees to navigate, and ready to go live without any missing information.

Let’s get started 🚀

**Step 1**: Log in to your **Ticket Spot** account and click on the **Create Event** button.

## Publishing Your Event

After completing all event setup steps, review your event details and click **Publish Event**. Publishing makes your event visible to attendees across your site, widgets, and any shared links.

You can also preview exactly how the event will look on your site—just click **Event Page** or copy the event site link to see the live view before sharing it with attendees.
