If you have the appropriate permissions within a community, you can create events on its behalf. Here’s how it works.

What you’ll need

To create an event on behalf of a community you need to have the appropriate permissions granted by the community organiser. You’ll also need a Standard or Premium subscription plan to create events.

How to create a community event

Select Create from the top navigation to start the event creation flow. During the setup you’ll be given the option to select who is hosting the event. If you have permission to create events on behalf of a community, that community will appear as an available option alongside yourself. Select the community as the host to associate the event with the community page.

From there, the creation flow works the same way as creating a personal event. Work through each step and publish when you’re ready.

Where the event appears

Once published, the event will be associated with the community page and visible to community members and followers. It will also appear in the discover feed as usual based on industry and location.

A few things worth knowing

If you don’t see a community available to select during event creation, you may not have the required permissions. Contact the community organiser to request access.
