Welcome to Curator Live!
This guide will help you create and launch your first event in just a few minutes.
Perfect for:

🕒 Estimated setup time: 5–10 minutes
What You’ll Need
Before getting started, make sure you have:
a Curator Live account
a desktop or laptop (recommended for easier event setup and management)
an iPhone, iPad, or Mac Mini
internet connection
Optional:
your event assets (overlays, branding, backgrounds, etc.)

Step 1: Create Your Event
From the dashboard, click CREATE EVENT.
Choose a Pre-built Event Template or Create a Blank Event.
Enter a name for your event.
Click Start.
Once created, you’ll be taken to the Event Form where you can customize event details, experiences, sharing, branding, and more.
Tip: If you use a pre-built event template, you can start testing right away by simply updating the event name and dates. You can still customize the template later at any time.
Step 2: Customize Your Event
The Event Form is divided into the following sections:
Page 1: event details and device setup
Page 2: attract screens
Page 3: photo, video, and AI experiences
Page 4: overlays, props, and backgrounds
Page 5: sharing options
Page 6: microsite and branding
Recommended Setup
For the best experience, we recommend:
confirming your event dates are correct
matching screens to your device orientation
adding at least one experience on Page 3
adding buttons if using multiple experiences
matching overlays and backgrounds to your photo dimensions
enabling SMS and Email sharing for digital events
testing the full event flow before going live
Step 3: Download & Test
Before your event goes live:
install the Curator Live app on your iOS device or Mac Mini and allow all requested permissions when prompted
download the event
launch the event and test the full guest experience
capture a sample photo
send a sample email or text
confirm overlays and AI prompts are working properly
Tip: If you'd like to make changes to your event after testing, update them in the Event Form, then redownload the event in the app to apply the changes.
Note: If you're already inside the event, double-tap the top-right corner and tap REFRESH EVENT to download the latest changes.
