Your community doesn't have to wait on an admin to get together. With member-created events, the members of your community can create and manage their own events directly from the member portal, while you stay in control of whether the feature is turned on.
Enabling member-created events
Member-created events are controlled by an admin setting. Once enabled, members will see the option to create an event from the Events area of the member portal.
How a member creates an event
From the member portal, the member opens the Events page.
They select Submit an Event and fill in the event details (name, date and time, location or online link, description, ticket setup and image).
Once submitted, the event appears in your Pending Approval list.
Recurring events and reminders
These can be configured by the admin only when reviewing the submission.
Adding events to a personal calendar
Members can add an event to their own calendar with one-click calendar export (.ics), so it lands in Google Calendar, Outlook, or Apple Calendar and helps reduce no-shows.
Staying in control
Because member-created events are gated by an admin setting, you decide whether members can create events at all. You can review member-created events alongside your organization's own events at any time.
