How to Create and Edit an Event

Why does it matter?

From career fairs to internal events required by participants to attend, organizing, sharing, and tracking events attendance can be time consuming and require you to use multiple systems, creating data silos. RiseKit provides a dedicated space to organize, share, and track event attendance with internal teams and with the local RiseKit network.
