Build Your Listening Program | Overview

Your listening program can consist of one or more individual listening events. You can build your listening program by using the Event Builder to build and manage your listening events. The Event Builder walks you through the process of creating your event framework, building the content, customizing the styling (if applicable), inviting participants, modifying settings, and launching your event. As you work through the process, the highlighted option in the Event Builder indicates which phase you are working in. You can click options in the Event Builder to navigate between phases as needed.
