Creating a new event

Events are the containers for your sponsorships in Chamberly. Each event has its own public page, sponsorship list, sponsor wall, and reporting. Create one event per real-world event (golf outing, gala, mixer, expo).

• You need an org_manager or chamber_staff role

• Have the event name, date, time, venue, and a short description ready

• Optional: featured image (1200x630 PNG/JPG works well)

1. In the sidebar, click Events

2. Click New event in the top-right

3. Fill in Event name, Start date, End date, and Venue

4. Add a Short description (shown on event cards) and a Long description (shown on the event page)

5. Upload a Featured image

6. Optionally assign a Category from Settings > Event Categories

7. Set Status — leave as draft while you finish setup

8. Click Save

9. From the event detail page, add sponsorships using the Add sponsorship button

10. When ready, change Status to active to publish

• Use a clear, scannable event name — sponsors browse on cards, not detail pages

• Add at least one sponsorship before flipping to active — otherwise the public page looks empty

• Use the long description to sell the event: who attends, why it matters, last year's results

• Set a go-live date if you want the event hidden until a future date even when status is active

Why does my event not appear on the storefront?
Check the status — only active events show publicly. Also check the go-live date if set.

Can I move sponsorships between events?
Not directly. Clone the sponsorship into the new event and delete the original.

How do I preview an event before publishing?
From the event detail page, click Preview in the top-right. The preview opens in a new tab using your live styling.
