Events managed by the Events module are stored in the content tree as pages of the **Event (booking system)** page type (code name **CMS.BookingEvent**).

In a typical scenario, events are displayed using the **Event calendar** web part, while registration to the events is ensured by the **Event registration** web part. You can see an example of such a setup on the **Community ->** **Events** page of the sample **Corporate Site**. Once the **Event calendar** web part is placed on a page, editors can [create events](https://docs.kentico.com/k10/managing-website-content/events/creating-events.md).

In this topic, you can learn about:

## Creating an events page

1. In the **Pages** application, create a new **Page (menu item)** where you want to place the events page.
2. Fill in the **Page name** and choose whether you want to use a template or create a blank page.
3. Click **Save**. The system creates the page in the path that you chose.

### Placing the Event calendar web part

1. Switch to the **Design** tab of the events page that you created.
2. [Place](https://docs.kentico.com/k10/developing-websites/developing-websites-using-the-portal-engine/using-and-configuring-web-parts.md#adding-web-parts) the **Event calendar** web part on the page. A **Web part properties (Event calendar)** dialog opens.
3. Specify the web part properties. Hover over a property label to see more information about the property.

   > **Info:** By default, the properties of the web part are set to work in conjunction with the **Event (booking system)** page type (code name **CMS.BookingEvent**). To create a new event, users create a new page of the **Event (booking system)** type under the path specified in the web part and use its _EventDate_ and _EventEndDate_ fields.
4. Click on **OK**. The system places the web part on the page.

> **Tip:** You can use the **Event calendar** web part to display other page types as well. For example, you can configure it to display **News** pages on your site based on the date they were published on. This example is described in [Displaying various page types in a Calendar web part](https://docs.kentico.com/k10/managing-website-content/configuring-the-environment-for-content-editors/configuring-events/displaying-various-page-types-in-a-calendar-web-part.md).

### Placing the Event registration web part

1. Make sure you are on the **Design** tab of the events page that you created.
2. [Place](https://docs.kentico.com/k10/developing-websites/developing-websites-using-the-portal-engine/using-and-configuring-web-parts.md#adding-web-parts) the **Event registration** web part on the page. A **Web part properties (Event registration)** dialog opens.
3. Specify the web part properties. Hover over a property label to see more information about the property.

   > **Tip:** You can make sure the registration web part is displayed only when users select an event in the calendar. To do so, under **Visibility** properties, use the **Select** button next to the **Show for page types** field to specify the page type that your site uses for creating events (**CMS.BookingEvent** by default).
4. **Save & Close**. The system places the web part on the page.

You have set up an events page. Editors can now [create events](https://docs.kentico.com/k10/managing-website-content/events/creating-events.md) that the visitors of the website can view and register for.

To validate the look of the event calendar on the page, use the **Preview** mode.

> **Tip:** **Allowing visitors to create only event page types under the event page**
>
> Use [Page type scopes](https://docs.kentico.com/k10/developing-websites/defining-website-content-structure/page-types/configuring-page-types/limiting-the-pages-users-can-create.md) to limit the pages that editors can create under the events page to the **Event (booking system)** page type.
