Learn to run your event on Joinlah
Short, practical walkthroughs for organizers who'd rather read one page than click around a dashboard hunting for a setting. Start with your first event, or jump straight to the part of the day you're planning for.
Getting started
Creating your first event
From a blank dashboard to a shareable registration link, in about two minutes.
At the door
Running check-in at the door
Scan guests in from any phone, split arrivals across multiple sessions, and keep a live count.
At the door
Setting up queues for booths and registration
Give attendees a ticket number, notify them by push when it's nearly their turn, and call the next one from a phone.
At the door
Running a lucky draw
Pick winners from your checked-in attendees and show the result on a projector, live.
At the door
Tracking what each attendee received at check-in
Set up a custom check-in field so staff record exactly what was handed out, right when they scan — built for sampling activations and roadshows.

How lucky draw eligibility works
Who's actually in the pool for a prize, how to restrict it per prize, and how repeat winners and voided draws are handled.
Selling tickets
Selling tickets and collecting payment
Set up paid tiers, accept card or manual payments, and track who's actually paid.
Going live
Mirroring a live camera to your venue display
Go live from your phone and optionally mirror any one auction's or session's camera to the venue's fullscreen screen.
Going live
Running a live auction
List items, open bidding, watch bids land in real time, and settle payment with the winner — for in-person, hybrid, or fully online bidders.
Going live
Hosting a live stream
Run one session or several at once, each with its own host, camera, and dedicated live chat.
Running your team
Adding your team and setting permissions
Bring in collaborators for check-in, the lucky draw, or announcements, without handing over the whole event.
