Use Is This a Private Event? when you want to reduce public sharing and search discovery. Private mode does not make the event invite-only. Someone with the event link can still register while registrations are open.
What private mode changes
HeySummit adds noindex,nofollow to event pages, asking search engines that support these rules to exclude them from search results.
Standard sharing controls on talk, stage and speaker pages, and in attendee account areas, are hidden. Review any Social Buttons blocks you added in the page builder separately.
Speaker and sponsor dashboard promotion panels are hidden unless coupon-specific promotion tools are available.
What private mode does not do
It does not restrict registration to specific people. Use ticket restrictions, email restrictions, hidden tickets or attendee imports if you need tighter access control.
It cannot stop someone from manually sharing your event link.
It does not guarantee immediate removal of pages already indexed by a search engine. The search engine must crawl the updated page before it can act on the indexing rule.
It does not automatically remove every checkout or confirmation-page offer. Viral incentive content can still appear in checkout contexts when configured to show there.
Turn private mode on
Go to Event Settings > General > Event Basics.
Turn on Is This a Private Event?.
Select Save.
If the setting is disabled or marked as needing a plan upgrade, your plan may not include private events. Email template content is managed separately. To change it, go to Email & SMS > Emails and edit the relevant template.
