# How do I invite participants to my event?

## Resolution

**Question**

How do I invite participants to my event?

**Answer**

To invite suppliers to an event, **Edit** the event and follow these steps:

1. Click **Suppliers** on the left side of the **Event** page.
2. Click **Invite Participants**. Alternatively, you can click [**Excel Import** to import a list of suppliers](https://help.sap.com/viewer/36a99e6ce8954882ba1cbe6d42056c3e/LATEST/en-US/7c4bb60671ea1014a330fdd0260aa2d5.html).
3. Search for the supplier to add or click **Create Participant** if the supplier is not currently in your database.
4. In the search results, select the participants that you want to add. If you want to add more participants, click **Add More**.
5. When you are done searching for participants, click **OK** to return to the **Suppliers** page.

When you publish your event, invited participants will receive email invitations. If you invite a new participant, you must add them to an existing organization or create a new one.
