Events and Groups

The Events list is the central hub for managing all your events. From here you can view, filter, search, create, and organize events into groups. Groups let you cluster related events — a conference series, a regional tour, a season of fundraisers — so attendees and staff can navigate them as a set.

Browsing and Filtering Events

Events are shown in a card or table view. Each card displays the event name, dates, location type, status badge, and live registration count. Use the filter bar to narrow by status, date range, or event group.

• Status filters: Draft, Active, Waitlist, Cancelled, Completed.
• Date range filter: narrow to events starting in a given month or quarter.
• Group filter: show only events belonging to a specific event group.
• Search: full-text search on event name.
• Sort: by start date (default), name, or registration count.

Creating an Event

Click 'New Event' to choose your creation method.

1. Magic (AI) — describe your event in plain language and Forge prefills name, date, location, and a draft agenda. Review and adjust before saving.
2. Ol' Faithful — step-by-step manual form covering basics (name, dates, location type), registration settings, and initial ticket types.
3. Clone — pick an existing event to copy. All tickets, forms, sessions, and page design are duplicated. Attendees and registrations are NOT cloned.

Event Groups

An Event Group is a named container for related events. Groups appear in the public registration flow, letting registrants browse all events in a series from a single landing page. Groups also make bulk operations easier for organizers.

• Create a group from the Events list > Groups tab.
• Add events to a group from the event's Event Info tab or from the group detail page.
• A group can have its own branding (logo, description, header image) served on the group landing page.
• Groups are additive — an event can belong to one group at a time.
