With Easy Events, creating an event is just as simple as publishing a post — but with powerful, event-specific enhancements. You can set the date and time, define organizers, add locations or virtual meeting links, configure recurring schedules, and enable RSVP and calendar sync — all from a guided composer flow.
This article walks you through how to create an event post using the Easy Events space.
