  • Introduction (optional)
    The optional Introduction field is used to introduce an event and is displayed between the event title and body.
  • Hero Media (optional)
    Can be a background video or image. Displayed prominently at the top of an event page.
  • Hero Media Caption (optional)
    Used to provide information about the hero image.
