# Creating events

Creating an event in the Closer Platform is a simple, guided process. Click the **"Create Event"** button (usually found on the top-right of the Events page or in your Admin Dashboard) to launch the multi-step event creation flow.

## Step 1: General Tab

In this initial step, you will:

* **Enter the Event Title:**\
  For example, "Tree Planting Weekend" or "Harmonia Spring Gathering".
* **Provide a Detailed Description:**\
  Use a rich-text editor to explain the agenda, objectives, or any special notes.
* **Set Virtual Options:**\
  Toggle whether the event is virtual. If so, additional fields (e.g., YouTube Recording URL) will appear.
* **Configure Booking Calendar Blocking:**\
  Choose whether this event should block the Booking Calendar from accepting other bookings during its timeframe.
* **Enter Event Location:**\
  Provide a physical address if the event is in-person, or indicate if it’s exclusively virtual.
* **Set Visibility:**\
  Choose from Public, Custom (e.g., for select groups), Private, or Secret.
* **Define the Event Slug:**\
  Create a unique URL identifier (e.g., `harmonia-spring-2025`).

After filling in the General tab, click **Next** to move to ticket settings, or **Save** to retain the current information.

## Step 2: Tickets Tab

Here you set up the ticketing options:

* **Ticket Types:**\
  Define different ticket options like *General Admission*, *VIP*, or *Volunteer Ticket*.
* **Pricing and Quantities:**\
  Set a price (fiat or token-based) and a maximum number of tickets for each type.
* **Discounts and Early-bird Options:**\
  Optionally provide discount codes or automatic discounts for specific groups.
* **Day Tickets vs. Full Event Passes:**\
  For multi-day events, you can designate tickets for single days or the full event.

After configuring ticketing, proceed to the next tab if available or save your progress.

## Step 3: Advanced Tab

In this final step:

* **Set Event Date & Time:**\
  Specify the start and end date/time, which automatically categorizes the event as upcoming or past.
* **Additional Fields:**\
  Optionally enter a Participation Guide URL, event capacity, and any special partner or volunteer details.
* **Media Upload:**\
  Add a banner image or other visuals to represent the event.
* **Publish Options:**\
  Choose to publish immediately or schedule a future time for the event to go live.

Once complete, click **Publish** (or **Save**) to finalize your new event.
