TIP: If you still want to post the same item in both public and private space, post the item first to the public Group and then re-share the item to your private space, when published.

Step 5: Complete the Event Form

Fill in all mandatory fields marked with an asterisk (*), including the title, event type, description, and date and time. Make sure to provide clear and concise information to help users understand the event's purpose. 

Step 6: Tag Your Event

Improve your event's visibility by selecting the language, Topics and Countries. Proper tagging ensures that users interested in the same topics can easily find your event.  


Step 7: Provide Additional Event Details 

Enhance your event's description by adding information such as organiser, event website, and social media links (Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.). This will give users more context and encourage them to participate. 

TIP: You can still adjust or add another location of where the event should be posted.

Step 8: Attach Relevant Documents

Upload documents such as the agenda, background information or presentations. This allows you to share important files related to the event and provide attendees with valuable resources. 

TIP: You can add the Calendar invite together with a link to connect by attaching a file in .zip format because .ics is not supported by our platform. Alternatively, you can simply hyperlink the connection link inside the body text!

Step 9: Save as a Draft or Publish

You can either save your event as a draft for later editing or publish it directly on the platform. Once published, your event will be visible to the Capacity4dev community and members of the specific Group will be notified.
