Where Events Show Up in Your Mighty Network
When you publish an Event, it will show up in the Event tab in the Space that you posted it to (with the exception of events added using the Single Event feature).
On the Events list you'll also see an option to expand a calendar view that showcases all the Events in a single Space.
If you have the Event Global Feature enabled, then all of the Events that you or your member has access to, will appear in chronological order (including events from the Single Event feature). There is also an option here to expand to a calendar view.
There are also tabs to view Nearby Events (Local Events nearby to the location saved in your profile), Past Events, and Your Events (the Events you've RSVP'd to).
Events in the calendar view will be color-coded according to the Space where the Event exists.
How Time Zones Display
When you set a start time and end time for an Event, you can include the time zone. For any Online Events you create, members will see the Event's time converted to their local time zone. For Local Events, you can indicate if the Event's time zone differs from the member's local time.
Managing Event RSVPs
If you choose to give members the option to RSVP for your Event, you have a few different options available for how to manage RSVPs, including the options to restrict the Event Link or close RSVPs. You can also message Event attendees based on their RSVP status and download a full list of RSVPs.
Event Reminder Notifications
Members who RSVP "Going" or "Maybe" to an Online Event will automatically receive a reminder notification 10 minutes before the Event is about to start. For Local Events, reminders are automatically sent 24 hours and 2 hours before the Event. For virtual events, Event reminders contain a link to the Event within Mighty Networks, but not a direct link to the event room (Zoom links, Crowdcast, etc.)
Event Ticketing
On the Business Plan or higher, you can create a Single Event and charge for that Space by creating a plan!
