What's new in QuickEvent

QuickEvent used to have two front doors. Organisers signed in on one screen, attendees on another, and picking the wrong one meant a rejected login with no useful explanation. If you both ran an event and attended someone else's, you needed two habits.

There is now a single sign-in screen. Enter your email and password once, and QuickEvent sends you where you belong:

• Run events? You land in your organiser console.
• Attending an event? You land in your attendee portal.
• Do both? You choose, and you can switch afterwards without signing out.

Nothing changes about your password or your existing bookmarks — old sign-in links redirect to the new screen.

Creating an account used to drop you into an empty console and leave you to configure everything from scratch. You had to know which settings mattered before you had run a single event.

After you sign up, QuickEvent now asks a few short questions — the kind of events you run, roughly how many people attend, and what you need to get done first. Your answers shape the suggestions you see afterwards.

Two things worth knowing:

• Every step is optional. Skip the whole thing and your account works exactly as before.
• You can change your answers later from your account settings, and remove them entirely if you would rather not keep them on file.

On a phone, the Register button sat at the top of your event page and disappeared as soon as someone started reading. Anyone who wanted to check the programme before committing had to scroll all the way back up to act — and some did not bother.

Register now stays pinned to the bottom of the screen on small displays, and only while registration is open. On desktop nothing changes: the button is already in view, and a second one would just be noise.

The same update added a status badge next to your event title, so visitors can tell at a glance where things stand — Starts in 12 days, Starts tomorrow, Happening now, or This event has ended.
