Setting Description
GENERAL Pick a name that best describes your event (Panel Discussion, Workshop, Conference, Roundtable, etc). Use the checkboxes for other options like multi-day or recurring events.
TO BE DISPLAYED IN CHAPTERS The default is to show this event type on all chapters. This allows your chapter leaders to pick this event type when creating an event. You can also choose to show this event type only on certain chapters. If you want to do this, select that button and you’ll see a search field that allows you to find and select chapters. 
PEOPLE There are a variety of people types that you can include on an event type. To include a people type, set the maximum greater than 0. If the fields are left at 0, that person type does not appear as an option during event creation.
STARTUPS Similar to the People section, you can opt to include a minimum and maximum for Startups. If the fields are left at 0, Startups will not appear as an option during event creation
LOCAL SPONSOR TIERS If you anticipate sponsorships for this event type, add those here. You can choose their name as you wish.
TICKETS Select your desired ticketing type.
