Link a prize giveaway to a presenter, a session, or both. Separate giveaways linked to sessions follow session timing unless you set a different winner-generation rule. Bundling can instead combine prizes into one event draw.
Create the giveaway
Go to Marketing > Offers & Giveaways and select Add Offer or Giveaway. In the Add a perk window, choose Create a new perk.
On Details, choose Giveaway. Add a title, description and optional icon or image.
On Provider, choose the Sessions and/or Presenters providing the prize. The attribution option controls whether those provider details appear publicly.
On Visibility, review ticket restrictions and where the perk appears.
On Redemption and winners, set Quantity Available to at least 1 and review Winner Generation. Select Save.
Winner timing
Open Giveaway Settings on the Offers & Giveaways page to review automatic draws, Session Giveaway Timing, the delay and the event/bundle date.
Session draws can run at session end, a set number of minutes after it, or at the configured event/bundle date. The end-based and event-date session modes wait until the session has ended; for several linked sessions, they use the latest applicable due time. Older events without a selected timing mode can retain 24 hours from session start. Review and save the intended mode.
Use a per-giveaway scheduled date if you need an explicit draw time. That override can run even when the event's automatic-draw option is off. Manual only disables automatic selection for that giveaway.
For a manual draw, open the giveaway's Actions > Generate Winners. Confirm only when ready: it selects winners and sends the related emails.
Who can win?
Winners must have a completed attendee registration, an email address and accepted terms, and must not be excluded from giveaways or deactivated for a newer evergreen cohort.
Event hosts' account emails, active presenters with linked user accounts, and the event owner's email are excluded.
Ticket restrictions require the attendee to hold an allowed ticket. Attendance requirements use the configured live, replay or in-person attendance rule. For linked sessions, live/replay attendance must be on at least one of those sessions.
If multiple wins are disabled, previous winners for this event are excluded. Social sharing and viral incentives can increase draw weighting; HeySummit does not verify that an external social post was published.
Draws cannot select winners while the event owner is inactive or their subscription is canceled or unpaid.
Notifications and results
HeySummit sends the winner email and notifies the linked presenter or sponsor. Without a direct provider, it notifies presenters on the linked sessions; a giveaway with no linked provider or session notifies the organiser. Bundled awards use the bundle notification flow. Open the Winners tab on Marketing > Offers & Giveaways to view results. If no eligible attendee is found, the giveaway records that no winner was found.
