Getting started with Planet Events

Signing in

Sign in at app.planetevents.io/login with your work email and password (Google sign-in is coming during the beta). New to the platform? Create an account from the link below the sign-in form. Forgotten your password? “Forgot?” beside the password field sends you a reset link; see “Resetting your password.”

The first time you sign in, we ask you to name your organization. That creates your workspace: your events, your team, and your data live inside it, and you become its first admin. Teammates you bring in later join the same organization.

The dashboard

The dashboard is home base. It greets you with what matters right now: your next event, counting down in days and hours, and four quick counts covering what’s upcoming, what’s live right now, what’s in planning, and your total. When something really is happening in the next seven days, a “This week” card appears; when nothing is, it stays away rather than showing you an empty agenda. Then comes your event list. Each row shows the date, location, status, and how far along the run of show is, and opens straight into the event.

That last part is the readiness bar, and it has its own article if you want to know what it counts.

The “+ New event” button in the top right starts a new event any time. It’s admins only, as is most of what shapes the workspace itself; see “Seats and access” for the full picture.

Load the sample events

The fastest way to understand Planet Events is to see a finished setup rather than a blank one. If you’re an admin with nothing upcoming yet, your dashboard offers a “Load sample events” button. One click builds two complete events, and there is a second way in from the FlowGenius card in the right rail.

The first is a corporate leadership summit: five speakers with crew detail and energy ratings, immovable times including a venue curfew, a registration ask with a target number, and a full four-section run of show. The second is a church worship night built around an Easter invitation, with its own speakers, its own anchors, and a wider dynamic range because the evening is supposed to have both. Two samples rather than one, because this product is not corporate-only and it is not worship-only.

They’re a safe sandbox. Generate, apply, export, rearrange, break things. Nothing real is affected. Clicking the button again doesn’t clutter your workspace either: if a sample is already there, it is left alone.
