A dedicated virtual event type
It is now possible to create virtual event types that include URLs and description fields rather than a physical venue address. Learn how to create a new event type for your community.
You’ll need to set this up before your local organizers can create events with it. Reach out to help@bevy.com if you have any questions.
Virtual event creation and registration
Allow your attendees to register for the virtual event on Bevy, capture registration form details using the pre-order form, and easily send automated emails. Only after registering will attendees have access to the virtual event link. Learn how to create a new event in Bevy.
Note: We’re actively working on updating events to allow for changing event types once live. But, today, once an event is live, you can't change the event type. If you have already live events you need to switch to virtual, email us at help@bevy.com and we can help you transition them.
