It is built from the Microsite section of the Event Console and has its own shareable URL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Who this is for:<\/strong> Organisers promoting their event before registration opens<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Time to complete:<\/strong> 15\u201330 minutes<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The microsite acts as your event&#8217;s public-facing marketing page. Attendees can view information about the event and register for tickets without needing to access the full event platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What you can include on your microsite:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n<li>Welcome banner and introductory message<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Video content (event trailer or welcome video)<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Ticket options and registration links<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Event agenda<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Speaker profiles<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Sponsor logos and information<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Privacy policy and terms and conditions<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To build your microsite, navigate to the Microsite section in your Event Console left-hand sidebar. Add your content, upload your banner and preview the page before sharing the URL with your audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The microsite URL is separate from your event platform URL and can be shared publicly without giving attendees access to the live event platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the difference between a Canapii microsite and the event platform?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The microsite is a public pre-event marketing page where prospective attendees can learn about the event and register. The event platform is the full interactive environment where the event takes place, accessible only to registered attendees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I add a registration form to my Canapii microsite?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. Ticket options are included on the microsite so that visitors can register directly from the microsite page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does the Canapii microsite have its own URL?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. The microsite has a separate shareable URL that can be distributed publicly.
