Creating an event
An event is a course, workshop, field day, or webinar your firm runs. Creating it adds it to Events › Association events and as a member of Managed events in the left panel, so its tickets, attendees, and invitations stay together.

Example: a stormwater workshop
A firm runs a half-day stormwater compliance workshop for site managers. The coordinator creates the event with the training room's address, the date from 8:30 AM to 1:00 PM, and a short description. She keeps Display on website at Yes, adds two ticket types, and saves.
