Private vs public — what's the right call?

Choosing the right visibility setting is crucial for the success of your event. Here's a quick guide to help you decide.

When to go Public

  • You want to reach as many people as possible.
  • Your event is open to the general community.
  • You're hosting a workshop, conference, or public performance.

When to stay Private

  • The event is for a specific group of friends or colleagues.
  • You want to control exactly who receives an invite.
  • You're hosting a private dinner, a closed-door meeting, or a surprise party.

Remember, you can always change the visibility of an event before registrations start. Once people have signed up, we recommend keeping the settings consistent to avoid confusion.
