Setting up a Glue Up Webinar

- To register for a Glue UP Webinar, being logged in with a Glue Up account is mandatory. If you do not have a Glue Up account yet, create a new one first before continuing.
- In a Glue Up Webinar, speakers do not need to be team members of your organization but they do need to fill up a mandatory email address field in their profile to be able to receive an invitation to join the webinar.
- There are only 16 speakers allowed at one time.
- To register for an event, each email address can only be used once, through which the attendee will receive a unique link to access the webinar.
- In a Glue Up Webinar, both check-in and check-out will happen automatically. Checking out from the webinar is mandatory.
- When adding a new speaker, registering the speaker as an attendee is recommended. To do so, you would need to have already at least one ticket type.
