We will create a page called "Events" to hold the event we will create next.

Pages can act as folders and contain other items. Pages can be nested to any depth you need to organize your content.

Click the "add item" button.

Click in the text block "Type the title…"

Type "Events [[enter]] ", then in the text block below it, type "These are our upcoming events. [[enter]]"

We are now looking at the new "Events" page. We will create an Event inside it. Click the "add item" button.

Type "Plone Conference 2024" to set the title of the event.

Click in the text block below, where it says "Type text…"

Type some text describing the event, e.g., "[[The Plone Conference, the annual gathering of the vibrant Plone community, has been a cornerstone of the open-source CMS world for nearly two decades. From the first edition, back in 2003 to its latest edition in 2023, the conference has evolved into a global celebration of collaboration, innovation, and knowledge sharing.]]"

Click the "Summary" field and type some text that describes the event.

Summaries should be brief, typically 1-2 sentences.

Plone's built-in search indexes the title, summary and text of every content item.

An event should have a start and (usually) an end date. By default, it is set to the date and time when you created the event.

Click the "Event Starts" date field.

Use the calendar widget to set the event's start date.

Use the time widget to set the event's start time.

Type " [[Escape]]" or click elsewhere on the page to hide the widget.

Use the calendar widget to set the event's end date.
