Define your event's acronym

This article explains how to specify the event's acronym which dictates your event's url.

The acronym is a unique alphanumerical code that you can attribute to your events. They are unique across all events on Fourwaves and determine your event's url.

For example:

  • The event website: event.fourwaves.com/acronym

  • The registration form: event.fourwaves.com/acronym/registration

  • The submission form: event.fourwaves.com/acronym/submission

  • The event's virtual platform: live.fourwaves.com/acronym

On the French version of the event website, the forms are at event.fourwaves.com/fr/acronym/inscription and event.fourwaves.com/fr/acronym/soumission.

Choose your event acronym

  1. In the event dashboard, go to Settings > General.

  2. Locate the Acronym field and enter the desired acronym.

Accepted characters

Only letters, numbers and hyphens are accepted for the acronym, up to 100 characters.

Some words are reserved by the event website and can't be used as an acronym: abstracts, api, en, fr, horaire, inscription, pages, participants, redirection, registration, resumes, schedule, soumission and submission.
