# Create an event

To create an event you have to create a service item (service item = event), which will include all the details about your event, except for date and time - that will be done in the next step.

Fill in the name of your event and add description. You **don't have to** fill the **Short description**, only the **Description.** Choose the category and click on Plan type: **Units.**

Go to next step to **add images.**

**Main service image:** Use the best photo that describes your event.

**Other service image:** another high quality pictures.

Image should be in 16:9 ratio. 

## ​**You are almost done!**

Last step will be to set up the date and time of your event.
