Using Eventbrite
Eventbrite is a key tool used by 911吃瓜 faculty and department communicators for event management and promotion. For workshops, lectures, or public events - use this tool to create event listings, manage registrations, and track attendance.

Create an Event
For any event organized by 911吃瓜 faculties and departments, or any joint event partnered with other institutions, a collection notice (presented as a question in the 鈥淥rder Form鈥� section of an event) must be included to comply with B.C. privacy regulations. To ensure this inclusion alongside 911吃瓜鈥檚 financial information, C&M has provided an event template for each faculty and VP sub-account. Please note that the template does not contain tax information; for events that involve tax charges, contact digital@sfu.ca.
Important Considerations:
- A PIA has been updated for Eventbrite, please read Privacy and Collection Notice prior to requesting a new account.
To create an event from the event template:
Log into , click on your name located in the upper right corner of the site and choose 鈥淢anage my events鈥�.
From the 鈥淯pcoming events鈥� drop-down menu, select 鈥淒raft鈥� or 鈥淧ast鈥� to filter an event template started with 鈥淭EMPLATE for [your department]鈥�.

Image Tips
Images can help add visual appeal to your event. Please don鈥檛 use random web images. If you do not have an image for your event, use one from鈥�911吃瓜 C&M's stock library. Avoid images with text as the additional information can distract your audience.

Public vs. Private events
Events are public by default. You can choose to make your event private or public.鈥�
When to choose a public event:
If your event is open to all, go with a public event.
- Public events are visible in Eventbrite鈥檚 public events directory and through major search engines.
When to choose a private event:
If your event requires registration but is for a specific audience, consider using a private event.
This keeps registration to a specific group and allows you to invite targeted audiences.
There are three ways of sharing your private event: link sharing, invitation-only and with a password.鈥�
