Overview
Event tags are keywords or terms that help you describe and categorise events. For example, you can tag your top 10 events with the term "Top 10", new events with the word "New", your own events with your name (e.g. "Leigh's events"), or specific groups of events with a description (e.g. "November roadshow").
You can also use tags to record special information on an event. For example, you can record when the venue for an event has been booked with the term "Venue booked", likewise use the term "Presenter confirmed" when you have confirmed the presenter.
Tags are also used for managing website lists, such as the list displayed on the "Find an event" page.
