4. Location details
Add the physical location of your event. You can search by city.
The location field now supports a full address format, including zip codes, so you can accurately specify where in-person events will be held.
If the event is online only, you can leave this field empty and include the links to the event in the text field.
4. Contact person

It is automatically the person creating the event, but you can choose anyone who is an admin in the community

Choose the title from the list and paste your link to the box
The button will be visible at the top of the event and you can use it to highlight an important action the viewer needs to take

Text styling: Bold, italicize, or underline text to highlight important information.
