Create and Display Event Categories
3 min read
Event categories let you organize events into groups and display them on different pages, such as by theme (e.g. Workshops or Webinars) or location (e.g., East Coast" or West Coast).
For example, the same art event can appear on both an "Art" page and a "Downtown Location" page.
