There are two ways how you can initiate the creation of a new event:

- Go to the Dashboard tab and click on the green “+” icon to the right from the “Upcoming Events”

- Go to the My Events tab and click on the green “+” icon in the top-right corner

You should see a pop-up like this in any case:

1. Enter event name

2. Select the Host from the drop-down. Please note that only a Host selected in this step will be able to run the event

3. Select the Mapping mode. SpeedMatchApp has two built-in matching algorithms:

    a. Using Match Preferences - event participants will be matched based on their preferences. Some participants may not meet each other in that case

   b. Ignoring Match Preferences - most or all of the event participants will meet each other

4. Enter location, date of the event and time when the event starts and ends

5. Adjust the round and break times

6. Enter the number of tables available in the venue (we recommend leaving this setting at 100 unless you need to have more than 100 tables)

7. Click on “Save”
