How to update your general event settings (Name, Location, Links, Virtual)

Edit your event’s General settings: switch to virtual, update name and location, add website/social links, and set tracking IDs.

General Event Settings

Event Setup >> Edit Event >> General

The General tab in the Event Setup Dashboard allows you to make important changes and updates to your event information. Here are the options available:

1. Change your event to a virtual event: If you need to switch your event to a virtual format, you can make the necessary changes here.
2. Change your event name: Please note that changing the name of your event will also update the name on all historical results. Exercise caution when making this change. Additionally, it is advisable to avoid using long names as they can negatively impact the mobile page layout. It's best to exclude distance and date from the event name, as this information is already included on all pages.
3. Add or update your website link/URL: You can provide or update the link to your event's website.
4. Update your location: You have the option to update the location of your event.
5. Add links to your social media pages: You can include links to your event's social media pages for easy access and promotion.
6. Add Facebook Pixel ID: If you use Facebook Pixel for tracking and analytics, you can add the Pixel ID here.
7. Add Google AdWords ID: If you use Google AdWords for advertising and analytics, you can add the AdWords ID here.
