Adding an event to the Calendar Module
Adding Calendar Events to your site increases your visibility within the community! Well-known speakers and hot topics can be picked up on the search engines and funnel more prospects to your events.
All site users have the ability to post Events to your site. As a checkpoint, each Event posted by anyone other than a Site Admin must be "activated" by a Site Admin before displaying on the site. This allows you a measure of control while still supporting distributed authoring of information.
To add a Calendar Event:
- Access your Calendar and click Add in the top menu.
- Choose an Event Type.
- Event Types control the price matrix available with this type of event and the icon displayed on the Calendar.
- Select the Start Date and Time.
- Click Continue.
- Enter information in the fields available.
- Enter full Address information to produce a Google map link.
- Enter full Speaker information for better SEM.
- Enter event details in Notes.
- Click Submit Calendar Event.
- Enter your Event Pricing.
- Check Allow Registration to allow online registration for the event.
- Enter Seats Available and Registration Deadlines to stop online registration once the event fills or closes -- and invoke early/late pricing structures.
- Click Update Calendar Event.
