Recurring Events (For Event Admins)
A recurring event is any event that happens more than once. Instead of entering two or more separate listings, the event form offers recurring options that connects the various dates to one listing that will be displayed on the respective results pages for each instance.
Recurring events include two layers:
- Event: This is the overarching thing that is happening, for example an Open Lab event.
- Instance: If the Open Lab event spans multiple days then each day is one instance.
