Introduction
The Community Home Page is a central hub where all events connected to your community are displayed, providing easy navigation between past, current, and upcoming events. This page allows you to customize community information, such as branding, menus, and widgets, creating a cohesive and engaging experience for your audience. By managing groups and permissions, embedding content into external websites, and enabling guest mode, you can enhance user engagement and showcase your organization's identity. Customizing the home page ensures participants stay connected and have a seamless experience across events.
About your Community Home Page

The list of Events is broken down into different time-related sections:
Happening Now
Upcoming Events
Past Events
A fourth section titled "Suggested Events" can also be displayed on the homepage, for Branded Apps.
This community page will allow your users to communicate with others who have attended a previous or future event from your organization.
