Curators preparing to publish public events or paid tickets.
I want my host profile to look trustworthy before attendees register.
Your profile carries the trust your event page cannot explain alone
Attendees often decide whether to register before they read every detail. A credible curator profile answers the quiet questions: who is hosting, why should I trust them, and is this a real person or organization?
Set up your profile before you publish your first public event. It gives every future event a stronger foundation.
Complete the profile
Open Settings
Go to Settings and start with the Profile section. This is the identity attendees see across your hosted events.
Add a display name
Use your real name, studio name, collective name, or consistent creator brand. Avoid vague names that look disposable.
Choose a public URL
Pick a short slug that is easy to type and say out loud. Keep it stable because it can become part of your long-term host brand.
Upload an avatar
Use a clear headshot, studio mark, or brand logo. The image should still be recognizable at small sizes.
Write a practical bio
Mention what you host, who it is for, and why people should feel comfortable joining. One short paragraph is enough.
Confirm timezone
Timezone affects event scheduling and attendee expectations. Set it before creating recurring or cross-city events.
Profile fields and best practices
Trust checklist
Your name or brand is consistent with your promotion channels.
Your bio says what you host and for whom.
Your avatar is clear on mobile.
Your public URL is short and not tied to one temporary event.
Your timezone matches where you normally host.
Paid events include enough profile context for a first-time buyer.
Profile first, promotion second
If someone clicks from a community post to your event page, your profile may be the only proof that the event is hosted by a real person. Finish it before broad promotion.
FAQ
Can I change my public profile URL later?
You may be able to edit it, but it is better to choose a stable URL early so old links and audience memory stay consistent.
Should I use a personal name or a brand name?
Use the name your audience already trusts. A personal name works well for independent hosts. A studio, collective, or business name works well for teams.
Is a profile required for free events?
Free events can be more forgiving, but a complete profile still improves trust and registration conversion.
