Create an event-wide giveaway when the draw belongs to the whole event. Leave the provider's session links empty; a separate session giveaway uses the linked sessions instead.
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 and add a title, description and any optional image or icon.
On Visibility, optionally choose a ticket restriction or Custom Group.
On Provider, leave Sessions blank. You may credit a presenter or sponsor.
On Redemption and winners, set Quantity Available to at least 1. Use Use event default scheduling, or choose a custom date or manual generation. The custom date is disabled while event default scheduling is selected.
Select Save.
Event rules and timing
Open Giveaway Settings on the Offers & Giveaways page. You can enable automatic generation, choose an explicit Winner for Event Giveaways (or Bundle) To Be Generated At?, require attendance, choose its type, allow repeat winners and turn on bundled draws. Set an explicit date for predictable timing. Turning off automatic generation stops giveaways using event defaults, but an individual custom-date override can still run automatically. Generate Winners selects winners manually and sends emails, so review its confirmation.
Who can win
Attendees need completed registration, an email address, accepted terms and no giveaway-exclusion flag or deactivation by a new evergreen cohort. Host user emails, active presenter user emails and the event owner's email are excluded. The owner must be active and not have a canceled or unpaid plan.
Each eligible attendee starts with one entry. Recorded social sharing and viral incentives add weighting; they are not prerequisites for the draw and do not independently verify an external social post.
If attendance is required, live or replay attendance anywhere in the event counts according to the chosen type. In-person eligibility uses a scanned event ticket.
A separate event-wide giveaway applies its ticket restriction. A bundled draw uses event-wide eligibility instead of combining individual prizes' restrictions.
Winners and fulfilment
Open the Winners tab on Marketing > Offers & Giveaways. HeySummit emails the winner and notifies the credited presenter or sponsor. With no linked provider or session, it notifies the organiser. Bundled awards notify the organiser. If a separate giveaway has no eligible winner, it is marked No Giveaway Winners Found. For a session-linked draw, see setting up a speaker-level giveaway.
