The mixr creation flow, step by step

  1. Selecting a destination group, naming your mixr, and writing a description

After selecting the destination group for your mixr comes one of the most crucial steps of any event, the marketing. In other words, what will be the event title and how will you describe it.

When naming your MixR, choose a title that is both descriptive and engaging. Your event name should clearly convey the essence of the event while being catchy enough to grab attention. Use keywords that highlight the main theme or purpose of the event. For example, instead of "Tech Conference," opt for "Innovate 2024: Future of AI and Robotics."

For the description, provide a concise yet informative overview. Mention the key topics, speakers, and any unique activities or features that will take place. This not only helps potential attendees understand what to expect but also generates excitement and interest. Aim for a balance between being detailed and keeping it succinct—typically, a few sentences to a short paragraph is ideal.

Templates: Templates allow you to use a mixr you have created in the past as a template for your new mixr.
