Events let you organize the contacts you capture around the real-world events you attend: conferences, trade shows, meetups, and campaigns. While an event is running, every contact you capture can be tagged automatically, so your leads are sorted the moment you collect them.

## What an Event Includes

Every event has:

* **Name**: what the event is called
* **Location**: where the event takes place
* **Date range**: the start and end dates the event runs
* **Picture**: a cover image for the event
* **Description**: a rich description with the details that matter
* **Auto-tag**: an optional tag automatically applied to contacts captured during the event

## Creating an Event

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Events">
    Go to **Contacts** and open **Events**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create event">
    Click **Create event**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add the details">
    Enter the event name, location, date range, cover picture, and description.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Turn on auto-tagging">
    Leave the auto-tag toggle on to automatically tag every contact captured during the event. By default, the tag uses the event's name.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save">
    Save the event. While it's live, new contacts are tagged automatically.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## The Events Page

Events are shown as cards, grouped by status:

* **Active**: events happening now
* **Upcoming**: events that haven't started yet
* **Past**: events that have ended

## Event Details

Open an event to see everything about it in one place:

* **Analytics**: performance for the event's date range
* **Contacts**: every contact captured with the event's tag
* **Details**: edit the event's name, date range, location, tag, and other details at any time

## Best practices

* Keep auto-tagging on so leads are sorted as you collect them
* Use a clear, recognizable name: it becomes the tag
* Review an event's contacts and analytics afterward to measure results
