# Event Widget

The **Event Widget** lets you showcase an upcoming event directly on your Sitee.

It is a great option for meetups, launches, livestreams, conferences, parties, community events, or anything else with a date and time.

## Add an Event Widget

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open your Sitee editor">
    Go to the [YourSitee dashboard](https://yoursit.ee/dashboard/editor) and open the Sitee you want to edit.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the widget menu">
    Select <Icon icon="grid-round-2-plus" /> **Add Widget** from the editor toolbar.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose Event">
    Select the **Event Widget** from the list of available widgets.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Fill in the event details">
    Add your title, description, location, optional URL, and the event's start and end date and time.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save and publish">
    Select <Icon icon="save" /> **Save**, then publish your changes to make the event visible on your public Sitee.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What you can customize

The Event Widget includes the following fields:

* **Title**: the name of your event
* **Description**: a short explanation of what the event is about
* **Location**: where the event takes place
* **More info URL**: an optional external link for additional details
* **Starts**: the start date and time
* **Ends**: the end date and time

These details are shown in a clean event card format on your Sitee.

## Add to calendar

When visitors click <Badge color="blue" size="lg">Add to calendar</Badge>, YourSitee downloads a calendar file for the event.

They can then open it in their preferred calendar app and save the event to their calendar.

This makes it much easier for visitors to remember your event and keep track of the date.

## Timezone behavior

<Info>
  The selected date and time are based on your local timezone when setting up the widget.
</Info>

Make sure to double-check the event time before saving, especially if your audience is international.

<Badge color="blue" size="lg" stroke icon="star">Avaliable on Pro plan</Badge>

The Event Widget also supports some optional **Pro** features:

* **Spotlight**: visually emphasizes the widget
* **Sponsored Content**: adds a sponsored label when needed

Only **one** widget can be spotlighted on a Sitee at a time.

## Tips for using the Event Widget

* Keep the **title** short and easy to understand
* Use the **description** to explain what the event is about
* Add a **location** if the event happens in a physical place
* Use the **More info URL** if visitors need tickets, registration, or extra details
* Always check your **start and end date** carefully before publishing
