At the venue using the Admin App.

📣 Step 3: Promote Your Event Website

Even on event day, it’s important to keep driving traffic to your event website — especially if you’re running an online auction or virtual fundraiser.

Quick reminder: Make sure you’ve added social media links to your website so guests can easily share your event!
