Tips suggested by users
- Prepare. There is no save-and-resume button, so have all the information on hand. (But you can return to edit it.)
- Recurring Events. Powerful, but a little confusing the first time:

- To enter a meeting on the same day and/or week (e.g., 1st Monday), select “on a different day”.
- Categories. As a rule, you will want to select at least three categories, one from each of the following.
- Event Type
- Target Audience
- Welcoming Pages
- Venues / Organizers.
- Enter the name of the organizer and location.
- If it is already in the database, the calendar will populate your event with relevant contact and location information.
- If you have to add a new organizer or venue, please fill in all the fields. It will help others.
- Review. Once you submit an event, it will be reviewed before appearing on the calendar.
