Learn how to use the Event Catalog in Adobe Connect to publish, promote, and manage upcoming events.
The Event Catalog in Adobe Connect serves as a centralized, publicly accessible directory that showcases your upcoming events. It enables both internal and external participants to explore, browse, and register for events, providing a streamlined, organized experience.
This catalog helps you:
- Present multiple events in a structured and visually appealing format.
- Reach a broader audience beyond your organization.
- Simplify the event registration and approval process through automation.
Whether you're running webinars, training sessions, or public events, the Event Catalog is an essential tool for promoting and managing them effectively on your Adobe Connect platform.
When to use the Event Catalog
Use the Event Catalog to organize and present multiple events in a single, branded location. The catalog is helpful when you want to improve event visibility, streamline registrations, and reach external participants efficiently. Consider using the Event Catalog when:
- You have multiple concurrent or recurring events and need a unified location for visibility and access.
- You're aiming to attract external participants and want to present a branded, professional experience.
- You require a centralized registration process to handle approvals, track attendees, and reduce manual work.
