This template helps you create an events site like Meetup or EventBrite. Below is how the Airtable fields are mapped and displayed in the site.

How to add a record to the Events Template
In this example, we will be adding an event, DevSecCon, to our events list. We will be adding an additional filter called Online Only to demonstrate how to add filter options.

In the Airtable site-content table, click on a blank row
Enter the all the relevent fields. For this demonstration, I will add the following:
