For members
Your free account
A free account lets you keep track of events and hear about new ones. There is no password and no separate sign-up: your first sign-in creates the account.
Signing in
Go to Sign in
Use Sign in at the top of any page, or go to the sign-in page.
Enter your email and choose Email me a code
We email you a 6-digit code. It works for 10 minutes, and asking for a new one cancels the old one.
Type the code and choose Sign in
You stay signed in on that device for 30 days. Use Sign out on your account page to end it sooner.
Code not arriving?
Check your spam folder, then ask for a new code. After five wrong codes, or too many tries in a short time, you need to wait a few minutes before trying again.Saving events and following organisers
On any event page, choose Going or Save. Both appear under Your events on your account page, and we email you if the date or time changes, or if the event is cancelled or postponed.
Choose Follow on an event page to follow its organiser. Their new events are then included in your emails about new events. Unfollow from your account page.
Emails about new events
Under Emails about new events on your account page, choose how often (Never, Daily or Weekly) and, if you like, one city and one topic. Leave them empty to hear about everything. You get new events that match, plus new events from organisers you follow. The weekly email also lists what is on in the next seven days.
Every email has a link to change or stop it. It is off until you turn it on.
Your private calendar feed
Under Your calendar feed, choose Add to my calendar to see your saved and going events in your own calendar app. The address is private to you, so do not share it.
What else your account unlocks
- The free planning guides as PDFs: the event planner’s checklist and the booth cheatsheet for sponsors and exhibitors. We email you when they are updated; you can turn that off in your account.
- Offer to help an event that is looking for speakers, volunteers or sponsors (see Speakers, vendors and helpers).
- A speaker or vendor profile in the directories.
- Your listings: views, website clicks and saves for events you submitted with the same email (see Listing your event).
- Planner tools, if you have a plan (see Planner tools).
Questions
How do I change my email address?
Under Account settings on your account page, enter the new address and choose Send a code. Type the code we email to the new address and choose Confirm new email. We also tell your old address, in case it was not you.
How do I delete my account?
Under Account settings, tick the box and choose Delete my account. Your saved events, follows, settings, directory profiles and planner data go straight away. Events you listed stay on the calendar.
Do I need an account to list an event?
No. Organisers get a private edit link by email instead. An account is only needed to see the figures for your listings.
