Video: About Events Setup

Meetings are “Events.” You must have a site registration to create an event. You can schedule recurring meetings (events) and enable individuals (e.g., presenters) to register for the meeting.  To create an event, select “My Profile” at the top of any page, then select “Events”>”My Events” from the profile options.  Select “Add New” event. Fill out the event information and select “Submit.” If this is a group event, be sure to associate the new event with your group.

To create a recurring   meeting (event) and enable presenters to choose the meeting at which they want to present, you need to create a recurring event with 1 or more spaces (reservations). Follow the steps above to create a new Event, check the “This is a recurring event” option, and enter the event logistics. Select the “Enable registration for this event” option under “Bookings/Registration” and enter the number of spaces (reservations) for which users can sign up. For example, if you want two people to present at a given meeting, enter 2 for total spaces. The maximum number of spaces per booking is the number of reservations any one person can make at a time. Usually, this will be 1. Leave the Booking Cut-off Date blank, unless you want to change the default of allowing registration up until 12 am the day of the meeting/event. Consent to the data submission notice, and select Submit Event.
