Your first event in 5 minutes

Click "New Event"

From your home dashboard at app.overture.show, click the New Event button. You'll land in a three-step wizard with a progress bar at the top: Details → Brand logo → Sessions. Use Next and Back to move between steps. Drafts auto-save as you type.

Step 1 — Details

The first step is the only step with required fields. Everything else is optional and editable later.

• Event name required — what you'll call this show internally. "SPACECON 2027", "Q4 All-Hands", "Acme Kickoff Dec 12."
• Client name required — the client you're producing this for. Use your own company name for an internal show.
• Subtitle — optional tagline that appears under the event name on printed packets.
• Event Start Date / End Date — pick from the date pickers. Leave the end date blank or equal to start for a single-day event.
• Venue (optional) — name only. The full address, photos, map, parking, loading dock, and key staff lookup happen later on the Venue tab.
• Does this event have a video wall? — defaults to On. Turn it off when your venue has no upstage video wall and Overture hides the VIDEO WALL column from the run of show.

Step 2 — Brand logo (optional)

Drop your event logo into the brand logo box — or click the box to pick a file from your computer. PNG, JPG, or SVG up to 2 MB. SVG stays razor-sharp at any size; PNG with transparency is the next-best option.

Leave it blank and the event inherits your organization logo instead. You can swap the event logo any time from the event's Edit dialog — see how to change an event logo.

Step 3 — Sessions

Define each General Session for the event. You can edit, add, and remove sessions later from the event dashboard — Step 3 just lets you bring in the obvious ones up front so the run of show isn't empty when you land.

• Title — what to call this session ("Day 1 General Session", "Breakouts AM", "Keynote").
• Date — pick from the dropdown of days in your event range.
• Start — start time in 24-hour or AM/PM. Overture is forgiving — type 8, 8a, 8:00, 8am, all of them work.
• Add session — click the button in the top-right to add another row.
• Trash icon — remove a session row. The last row can't be removed (every event needs at least one session).

Click Create event

Click Create event at the bottom of Step 3. Overture creates the event, seeds the run of show with your sessions, and drops you onto the event dashboard. Default rows for opening, breaks, and close are pre-populated. Edit anything — drag, rename, delete — to make it yours.

What you'll see after "Create"

The event dashboard has tabs across the top: Run of Show, Venue, Team, Branding, and more. The Run of Show tab is where you'll spend most of your time — that's the live document you'll print, share with crew, and call from Showtime view on event day.

Next steps

• Add another session if your event has multiple tracks or days.
• Add a row for each cue, item, or block of content.
• Invite your team — Producers, Crew, and Viewers.
• Change the event logo if you skipped it in Step 2.
