# Adding Events

> Events are one-off or recurring experiences for which bookings can be made. This section covers booking options and event settings.

## Creating Events

To get started, go to [/manage-events](https://order.getdqd.com/au/cms/manage-events).

To create a new event, tap the **"+"** symbol (see annotation 1) at the top right of the events list panel.

You'll need to provide a date, a description, and select the available booking options.

When creating an event, you can choose between a **one-off** or a **recurring** event (see annotation 2).

You may also add an image and any relevant tags.

<Tip>Adding tags helps you better identify and segment your guests.</Tip>

***

After saving the event, you’ll have options to:

* Share a link to the event
* Duplicate the event
* Archive the event

If you’ve created a **recurring event**, you’ll see an option below the most recent occurrence to **add the next event**.

Simply click the **"+"** to create the next event in the series. The new event will inherit the properties of the previous one, which you can edit if needed.
