Ready to get your event started? Creating a new event page is the first step toward a smooth planning process. Every detail you enter can be updated later, so don't stress if you're still working out the specifics. Nothing is locked in until you're ready.
Get Started
To begin, select the New Event button in the upper right corner of the page.
From there, you'll choose how you want to build your event: manually or with AI.
Build Event Myself
Choose this path if you already have some details in mind and want to set them up directly.
Select the Event Type
Choose the option that best matches your event: Offsite, Conference, Incentive Trip, SKO, Executive Retreat, or Other. Each type slightly tailors the planning experience.
Add a Destination
Enter your desired location. You can compare venues in different cities on the same event page. If you're still exploring, skip this step—you can browse or request suggestions later.
Choose Your Dates
Dates: Use this if you have a confirmed date or range.
Single Day: Select an exact date and set start and end times.
Flexible: Share your general timeframe and event length. If your dates are flexible, selecting multiple months can widen your options for better pricing and availability.
Enter Your Guest Count
Provide your expected attendee count. A rough estimate works if you don't know exactly.
Set a Budget
Enter your estimated budget— even a rough range helps match the right venues and vendors. Unsure? Use our Budget Estimator tool or learn more about budget recommendations.
Name Your Event
Pick a name that's clear and recognizable—including your company name and event type works well (e.g., "Acme Co. Q3 Offsite"). You can always update it later.
Once you've completed these steps, your event page is ready!
Build Event with AI
Choose this path if you'd like BoomPop's AI Event Assistant to help you explore options and shape your plan from the start.
Name Your Event
First, you'll give your event a name. Same best practices apply— include your company name and event type if it makes sense to, and don't worry about getting it perfect.
Plan with AI Search
Once you name your event, you'll land in AI Search. From there, you can start a conversation with the AI Event Assistant using an open-ended prompt or one of the suggested starting points, like finding a location, exploring hotels, or discovering activities.
As you explore, the assistant surfaces recommendations based on your needs. When something clicks, you can commit to it and your event details will update automatically— no need to go back and fill in forms manually.

Note: Regardless of which path you chose, you can update any event detail at any time in the Event Details section.
TL;DR
Choose to build your event manually or with AI
Manual path: set event type, destination, dates, guest count, budget, and name
AI path: name your event, then let the assistant guide the rest
