Set up your Host profile

Give attendees a real host to trust with a clear display name, public URL, bio, avatar, timezone, and brand basics.

Your profile carries the trust your event page cannot explain alone

Attendees often decide whether to register before they read every detail. A credible Host profile answers the quiet questions: who is hosting, why should I trust them, and is this a real person or organization?

Set up your profile before you publish your first public event. It gives every future event a stronger foundation.

Complete the profile

  1. 1

    Open Settings

    Go to Settings and start with the Profile section. This is the identity attendees see across your hosted events.

  2. 2

    Add a display name

    Use your real name, studio name, collective name, or consistent creator brand. Avoid vague names that look disposable.

  3. 3

    Choose a public URL

    Pick a short slug that is easy to type and say out loud. Keep it stable because it can become part of your long-term host brand.

  4. 4

    Upload an avatar

    Use a clear headshot, studio mark, or brand logo. The image should still be recognizable at small sizes.

  5. 5

    Write a practical bio

    Mention what you host, who it is for, and why people should feel comfortable joining. One short paragraph is enough.

  6. 6

    Confirm timezone

    Timezone affects event scheduling and attendee expectations. Set it before creating recurring or cross-city events.

Profile fields and best practices

FieldBest practice
Display nameUse the name attendees will recognize in emails, event pages, and social posts.
Public URLChoose a stable slug such as your name, studio name, or community name.
AvatarUse a simple image with good contrast. Avoid text-heavy images.
BioExplain your hosting focus, credibility, and the kind of room you create.
TimezoneSet your operating timezone so default scheduling is less error-prone.

Trust checklist

  • Your name or brand is consistent with your promotion channels.

  • Your bio says what you host and for whom.

  • Your avatar is clear on mobile.

  • Your public URL is short and not tied to one temporary event.

  • Your timezone matches where you normally host.

  • Paid events include enough profile context for a first-time buyer.

Profile first, promotion second

If someone clicks from a community post to your event page, your profile may be the only proof that the event is hosted by a real person. Finish it before broad promotion.

FAQ

Can I change my public profile URL later?

You may be able to edit it, but it is better to choose a stable URL early so old links and audience memory stay consistent.

Should I use a personal name or a brand name?

Use the name your audience already trusts. A personal name works well for independent hosts. A studio, collective, or business name works well for teams.

Is a profile required for free events?

Free events can be more forgiving, but a complete profile still improves trust and registration conversion.
