Enter the following event information:
- Title: The title for the event.
- Location: Enter the location for the event.
- Include a map check box: If this check box is selected after entering the location of the event. Note that geo location must be enabled in Administration for mapping to be supported.

- Registrations (not shown in the screen capture): Select from the following options -
- No registration required: There is no registration, invitation, or confirmation. If the event is open registration, a confirmation is automatically displayed. The user is automatically sent an email confirmation as well. When the user views the event, he/she is now shown Update Registration or Cancel Registration buttons.
- Registration (RSVP): Users navigate to the event and register for it, and they are automatically saved a spot. An invitation can be used with this registration method.
