Event Code:
The Event Code is a special identifier that helps you and your attendees easily find your event in the EventMobi Universal App. It also forms the last part of the URL, so users can access your event site through their web browser at eventmobi.com/EVENTCODE.
If you’d like to change your Event Code, just give our support team a shout, and they’ll be happy to help!SCR-20240905-opgw

Event Code should not have any special characters. Allowed characters include alphabets, numbers, underscores and dashes.


Event Language
:
The language you choose in this field will determine the preset text fields displayed throughout the event, such as the login page text. Please note that any fields that can be customized by the organizer, like section names, will not be subject to translation. It is important to ensure that all of your event content, excluding preset text, is created in both languages.
Additionally, you have the option to include a secondary Event Language, which allows attendees to switch the language within the preferences area of the Event App.

3. Email Settings

In this section, you will specify the email address that will be used for sending system-generated communications, such as announcement emails, as well as the inbox where inquiries directed to your Help Desk will be received.

Email To Send From:
The default option provided will be a unique email that has been created specifically for your event, and will follow the format (event code)@event-emails.com.

To change the email sender to your own custom email address, you may need to acquire an add-on for your current package.

If your package includes this feature, you will have the option to use your own Custom Email Address for event communications. For further details on how to set this up, please refer to the related article.


Event Support Email:
The Event Support Email field allows you to designate an email address for managing inquiries from attendees. Participants can submit their questions or concerns through the Help Desk section located in the Event Information area of the app. Any messages sent via this Help Desk will be redirected to the specified Event Support Email address, ensuring that all inquiries are efficiently handled.

4. Event Dates & Timezone


Event Dates:
This section will show the Event Start Date and Event End Date that you entered when creating the event. If necessary, you can modify these dates; however, please keep in mind that the default duration for your event is limited to a maximum of 7 days.

Event Timezone :
By default, the timezone for your event is configured to Eastern Time. Time zones are presented in GMT format, and any modifications you make will be immediately reflected in the app.

It is important to note that the Event App will display times according to the selected event timezone unless you opt to disable the "Set the default timezone to be the Event Timezone" feature within the Settings area of the Experience Manager. If this option is disabled, attendees will have the opportunity to customize their timezone settings through the Preferences menu located on the right side of the Event App.

Furthermore, the designated Event Timezone will influence the timing of email communications sent to your attendees, ensuring that all notifications are aligned with the event's schedule.

Adjusting the Event Timezone in the Event Details area will automatically update the session times if any sessions are already listed in the sessions library. For optimal accuracy, it is advisable to establish the correct time zone prior to adding any sessions.

For detailed guidance on configuring and managing time zones for your event, including selection, impact on schedules, and communication with attendees, please refer to this article.

Time Format:
You can choose to display times in the Event App in either a 12-hour or a 24-hour format.
The 12-hour format uses a cycle from 1 to 12, with "AM" for times before noon and "PM" for times after, while the 24-hour format, or military time, runs from 00:00 to 23:59, eliminating ambiguity.
