If you are one of our Forward customers, this article is for you! We will talk through how to create an Outreach event and post it on Forward.

You can use these Outreach events for many different purposes and customize it to your needs. Some examples of events this can be used for are:

From the Events page in your account Click the Add Event Button. Next Click Outreach Event and then Click the Create Event button.

Click In-Person Event and then Click the Create Event button.

Event Name: You will need to enter a name for your event. This is customizable but we do highly suggest that you include the name of your firm in the event name. Candidates might also attend other events that are hosted through Flo Recruit, so including this identifier in the event name will help them keep track of the different events they are participating in.

Event Tags: Are not required but can be helpful in keeping the main event page in your account organized and easily searchable.

Event Description: This is an internal description for you and will show in the top left corner of the event summary page.

Law School Event: You will select “Yes” only if all attendees will be from ONE Law School otherwise leave “No” selected. If you're hosting an event and want to target multiple law schools, leave this off. We will choose multiple schools in the following steps.

Check-In Enabled: By selecting “Yes” you will have access to the manual check-in feature for your event. Please check out our In-Person and Webinar Event Check-In article to learn more! https://intercom.help/florecruit/en/articles/5837145-in-person-and-webinar-event-check-in

*** If you have a Forward package and NOT an Outreach Events package, please leave Invite Only set to off as this is not part of your package ***

You will be required to enter the date of the event, your time zone, and the start time of the event. Additionally, you'll add a registration end date. If you are collecting registrations / check-ins AT THE EVENT ITSELF, make sure this date is set to be after the end time of the event. You will also need to include a location name and the address of your event.

The rest of the settings you will see on this page are not included in your package if you do not have Outreach Events. Thus, please ensure everything else is disabled. Your event should look like this:

If you want to avoid doing this each time you set up an event, you can do this once for your first outreach event and duplicate that each time you're creating a new one.

Once saved, you should see the "Forward Visibility" button at the top of the page:

Select this and you can select to post your event on Forward:

Use "Event Targeting" if you only want to market your event to students from certain schools. Leave it blank to show the event to all students. Make sure to click Save.

If you need to target multiple schools, this is where you'll do so:

We'll remove your event from Forward automatically when your registration deadline or date of the event passes. Happy posting!
