Workspace vs. Event

An Event is a website that hosts sessions, sponsors, and other content. Attendees register and/or purchase tickets to access and attend the event.

A Workspace, on the other hand, is a group of events. Each event within a workspace is part of the same plan, which determines the features available for use within the event.

Workspaces can be helpful when want to create similar types of events, including:

• Multiple events that are hosted by the same organization
• Multiple events that have similar layouts and features

Within a workspace, you have the option to create Workspace Groups, which allow you to grant different user groups access to a Workspace page, which links to some or all events from within your workspace. For more information about Workspace Groups, check out.

Building Out Your Event
