Related Materials

After starting to create your event in the Profile System with the Event Information tab and providing additional information about the event with the Event Content tab, the next step is the Related Materials tab.

The Related Materials section allows you to add supplementary materials to your event for the benefit of your attendees. These items are optional, but providing them can give you an extra opportunity to both advertise your event and prepare attendees for your event.
