Public vs Private Event Galleries: Which Should You Choose?

Not every event should be openly crawlable or shareable.

The right access model depends on audience, brand risk, and guest expectations.

Glimzo supports different visibility choices so organizers can balance discovery and privacy.

Choose public when

• The event is meant to be discovered online.
• Guests expect an easy open link without passwords.
• Marketing value from searchable coverage is intentional.

Choose private when

• The audience is invitation-only.
• Company or school policies require restricted access.
• Sensitive attendees or locations are involved.

Communication tips

• State access rules in the invitation and post-event email.
• Keep one canonical URL regardless of access model.
• Review legal and privacy pages before publishing.

Pick the visibility model first, then configure your Glimzo gallery to match.
