Creating a Conference

How to Create a Conference

Conferences are the core unit of organization in Conference Hero. Each conference represents a single event your team is attending or exhibiting at.

Creating a New Conference

1. Click Conferences in the sidebar navigation
2. Click the New Conference button
3. Fill in the conference details:

Required Fields

• Conference Name — The official event name
• Location — City and venue information
• Start Date & End Date — When the event runs
• Lead Goal — Your target number of leads to capture
• Budget — The total planned budget for this conference

Optional Settings

• Logo — Upload the conference or event logo
• Team Members — Assign team members who will attend

Conference Status

Conferences automatically move through four statuses:

• Upcoming — Before the start date
• Live — During the event dates (a green "LIVE" badge appears in the sidebar)
• Completed — After the end date
• Archived — Manually archived when you're done reviewing

Once created, you can manage conference details at any time, or view the Conference Dashboard for live KPIs.
