Event naming guide
How to name an event
Strong event names communicate format, topic, and audience in five words or less. Three rules cover most of it.
Pick the right format word
Workshop signals hands-on. Webinar signals virtual. Retreat signals immersive. The format word does half the work — match it to what your audience expects before writing anything else.
Lead with the topic, not the adjective
“Beginner Sourdough Workshop” beats “Premier Baking Experience” every time. Specific topic + audience signal + format word is the pattern that ranks in search and reads on a sponsor deck.
Test it out loud, then Google it
Awkward acronyms, accidental innuendos, and trademark conflicts only show up when you say the name aloud and search it. Run every shortlist through Google, LinkedIn Events, Eventbrite, and Meetup before committing.
Format glossary
Workshop, retreat, gala: what’s the difference?
Each format sets a different audience expectation. Pick the one that matches the size, formality, and content of your event.
- Workshop
- Hands-on, skill-building session. Attendees leave with something practical (a draft, a plan, a finished prototype). Typical size: 10–80.
- Class / Course
- Educator-led, often a curriculum across multiple sessions. Buyer expects structured learning with measurable progression.
- Webinar
- Virtual presentation on a single topic, usually 30–60 minutes with live Q&A. Strong format for top-of-funnel lead generation.
- Retreat
- Immersive, multi-day, often residential. Place and pace are part of the product. Typical size: 8–60. Premium pricing expected.
- Meetup
- Community-driven, recurring, low-pressure peer gathering. Usually free or low-cost. The recurring cadence is the brand.
- Hackathon
- Time-boxed building event with a competitive element. Common in tech and product communities. Prizes or demos at the end are standard.
- Gala / Awards
- Formal evening event, usually black-tie or themed, with recognition or awards as a centerpiece. High average ticket price.
- Fundraiser
- Donor-facing, mission-led event. Naming should foreground impact and the cause, not the format word.
