Introduction
If you're going to host a webinar, have an upcoming speaking engagement, or planning to host any other type of event, you can publish it on your platform using the Events feature. With Events, you can schedule free and paid happenings on your platform, which can be both online events or in-person events.
Published events on your platform will show up on "example.forento.app/events" and members with access will be able to easily RSVP and add the event to their own, external calendars (Such as iCal or Google Calendar).
