Managing an event through Constant Contact is a dynamic process. Whether you’ve secured a new keynote speaker or need to adjust your venue’s parking instructions, things change! The good news is that in 2026, you don't have to deactivate your event or stop taking registrations just to make an update.
How to Edit an Activated Event
If you need to tweak your event details while it is live and kicking, follow these simple steps:
From your Events dashboard, locate your active event.
Click the Edit button.
Make your necessary changes to the description, location, or timing.
Once you’ve finished, click Update Event to push those changes live immediately.

Managing Tickets and Registrants
While you can change most details on the fly, there are a few "guardrails" to keep in mind regarding your tickets and registration settings to ensure your reporting stays accurate:
Pausing vs. Deleting: If a ticket type has already been purchased by a registrant, you cannot delete that ticket category. However, you can pause it. This prevents any future registrants from selecting it while preserved the data for those who already signed up.
Real-Time Updates: Any changes made to the event description will update on your landing page instantly—no need to resend your invitation emails!
Pro-Tip: If you’re looking for a bit of creative fuel for your next gathering, be sure to browse our upcoming events and past events sections to see how other pros are structuring their landing pages.
