Organizing an event

Share your events on LinkedIn

Use Eventbrite to feature your events or event collections on LinkedIn. To get started, go to Marketing Tools and select Social media. Then choose Share on social to create a social media post featuring an event or collection. This feature requires an active LinkedIn account but won't share any personal event organizer or attendee data with LinkedIn.

Requirements

To use this feature, you'll need to connect your Eventbrite account to your LinkedIn account.

LinkedIn account requirements

You must have an active LinkedIn account. This account needs to be an individual account, not a business account.

Permissions needed to post

When you first connect your social media account, there will be a list of required permissions. This includes permission to allow Eventbrite to view your social media profile and post from your account.

If you don't give Eventbrite the required permissions, the app may not work correctly. To update your permissions, disconnect the app and reconnect.

Create a post on LinkedIn from Eventbrite

1. Go to Marketing Tools.

Log in to your Eventbrite account and go to Marketing Tools .

2. Select "Social Media", then choose "Share on social."

3. Choose your event or collection.

Choose your type of post.

  • Event: Feature and link to an event.

  • Collection: Feature and link to a collection of events.

Then choose the event or collection you'd like to feature in this post from the dropdown menu.

4. Select LinkedIn as your social media site.

Under Select a social account, select LinkedIn. If you'd like to make posts on any other social media sites, select them here as well.

If you haven't connected your social media accounts yet, you'll need to give Eventbrite access to the required permissions.

5. Create your post.

Posts on LinkedIn automatically include your event image and a link to your event. Before sharing, review the following settings.

  • Update the caption for your post. Eventbrite automatically generates a caption for your post using ChatGPT. Review the auto-generated caption and make any changes you'd like.

  • Choose who can view your post. If "anyone" can view your post, your post is public to all viewers. If your visibility is set to "Connections," only people who have connected with you are able to see your post.

NOTE: If you also chose to make a post on TikTok or Instagram, you'll need to review their post settings separately.

6. Select "Share."

Your post(s) will be live within the next few minutes.

Optional: Disconnect your account

If you no longer wish to use this feature, you can disconnect your social media accounts.

1. Go to Marketing Tools.

Log into Eventbrite and go Marketing Tools .

2. Select "Settings."

3. Select "Integrations."

4. Select "Disconnect" next to the social media account(s) you'd like to remove.

Disconnecting a social media account doesn't remove any posts previously made.
