Create an event and import your attendees

How to create an event, choose a badge design, prepare the attendee spreadsheet and import your attendee list at events.getjoan.com.

You create your event on the web at events.getjoan.com: choose a badge design, fill in the attendee spreadsheet for that design, name your event and import your attendee list. We recommend you do this on a computer.

Log in and create an event

  1. Open events.getjoan.com.
  2. Log in with your Joan account: the same email we sent the test invitation to.
  3. Click Create event.
The Joan Events home page with the Create event button

Choose a badge design

  1. Pick a design for your badges.
  2. To see a design up close, click Explore.
The Choose your design screen with the Role badge with QR codes design and its Select and Explore buttons

Download the attendee spreadsheet

  1. On the design’s page, click Attendee spreadsheet. You get an Excel file with instructions and sample attendees, made for this badge design.
  2. Fill in your attendees, following the instructions in the file.

Important

Keep the format of the attendee spreadsheet: the same columns, in the same order. Otherwise the details might not show correctly on the badges, or the badges might not sync.
