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](https://events.getjoan.com).
2. Log in with your Joan account: the same email we sent the test invitation to.
3. Click **Create event**.

## 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.

## Add attendees after the import

To add people after the import, like walk-ins or late sign-ups, we suggest you add them one by one with **Add person**.
