Before we create our first event, let's start with a general organizer account overview. Once you have received your login credentials from Talentspace, you can enter the platform and start setting up your profile, as well as invite other members of your organizer team to join you.

Now that you have had a chance to familiarize yourself with the account setup, let's create an event. The first thing to do is to fill out the event details page, where you get to decide upon the basic parameters of your event, such as the event type and the date and time.

Next you can set up the event structure by picking out the interaction formats for your event. There are 4 different interaction formats on Talentspace: Speeches, Sessions, Live Booths and 1-1 Chats. Decide which ones are going to be part of your event, and then set up time slots during which they can take place.

After that you can start adding existing or new company profiles to the event. To a certain degree, you can fill out these profiles yourself, or you can just add the basic information and let the recruiters fill it out themselves once they join the platform. Here you can also modify their specific participation details.

Once you create your event structure and added the participating companies, you now get to design the program points of your event.

You can either create all program points on your own, or allow participating companies to set this up themselves. Specific Speeches and Sessions can be set up by you, while Live Booths will be created automatically once you added this program format, and 1-1 Chats will have to be scheduled by the individual talents and recruiters.

If you are ready to promote your event and have decided upon the participating companies and content, you can start sharing your landing page. This is where participants can get an insight on what the event is about and also where they can register. You can design the landing page to your liking by deciding to show information on the companies, the hosts, the interaction formats and the schedule.

After that you can create the registration process for talents. This is where you decide who can register for your event and what information you are requesting from your potential participants. You can also add custom questions or your own event-specific terms of service.

The event controls are where you can publish your event and manage talents' and recruiters' access to the event or certain functionalities. This is also where you get to publish your landing page, open the registration for participants, and where you decide which functions you allow recruiters and talents to use once they enter the event.

After opening up the registration, you can get an overview of your participating talents.

If you are interested to learn more about them, you can view their individual talent profiles, download CVs or view any custom questions you may have asked them. If your event is set up to have an "Application and Selection" process, this is also where you get to accept or decline the applications.

During and also in the lead up to the event, it is important to communicate with your audience. You can do this by making announcements (on platform and/ or via email) and providing information in the additional resources section of your event.

In the lead-up to your event, you will see any statistics such as registered participants and program point sign-ups in the pre-event section of your dashboard.

Once the big day has come, you can keep up with the ongoings of your event by monitoring the live event tab, joining the different program points, or even registering as a participant to experience the event from a different viewpoint.

Finally, take some time to review your event and have a look at the post-event analytics which you can download from your dashboard. Here you can analyze different aspects of your event such as the number of sign-ups, check-ins or the general participation in the different interaction formats.

We also recommend engaging with your recruiters and talents after the event to collect some feedback and gather improvement ideas for your next event.
