Creating an event

You create events in the Public Events area. A new event always starts as a draft, so you can get the details right before anyone sees it.

Create one

1. Open Public Events and, on the New Events tab, select Create Event.
2. Fill in the details. The essentials are:
   • Event Name — what the event is called.
   • Start Date and End Date (with optional times) — when it happens.
   • Location — an address, or turn on Virtual Event for an online event.
3. Add anything else that helps people decide to come — a short description, an image, a price, and a registration link if people need to sign up.
4. Save. Your event appears in the New Events tab as a draft.

A draft is private to your team. When you're ready for the public to see it, head to Publishing.

Repeats on a schedule?

If the event happens more than once, turn it into a series instead of creating each date by hand — see Recurring events.

Handy extras

• Duplicate an existing event to reuse its details for a similar one — it copies everything into a fresh draft.
• Internal Event still shows on your public calendar, so the public knows what's going on, but marks the event with a small lock to signal it isn't open to just anyone. It may be for your organization's internal purposes, or require some prerequisite or pre-registration to attend.
