Create a live event

Start with the basics. You can fill in the rest, including landing page, emails, and speakers, later.

Click + New event from your dashboard or the sidebar.

Host dashboard with the New event button
Find it at the top of your dashboard or in the sidebar.
2

Choose Host live

Under What kind of event is this? pick Host live. This broadcasts from OpenCEU with attendance codes, and you can make the recording available afterward.

Don't see this choice?

Live hosting is enabled per organization. If you only see “Upload a recording,” contact support to ask about live hosting.
3

Choose who earns credit, if asked

If your organization also hosts RBT professional development, pick BCBA / BCaBA for a CEU event. This choice locks after you create the event and cannot change later.

RBT PD events are recordings for now

Live hosting for RBT PD events is not available yet. If you choose RBT, the event switches to Upload a recording automatically.

Fill in the optional details

Set the Duration in minutes. OpenCEU calculates Learning CEUs automatically (0.5 CEU per 25 minutes) unless you type your own number. Add the Speaker Name and Speaker BACB #, check any CEU Type boxes that apply (General, Ethics, Supervision), and fill in Ethics CEUs or Supervision CEUs if you checked those. A description, abstract, and learning objectives keep your BACB records complete.
