Quick Answer
The Events Schedule section is required for all event listings. Set your start date, end date, times (or mark as all-day), and timezone. Find this section on the Edit Event page—your listing cannot be published without a complete schedule.
Overview
Every event listing needs a defined schedule so visitors know when to attend. Heritage Web supports single-day events, multi-day conferences, timed sessions, and all-day gatherings. The schedule you set determines how your event appears on publications and when it expires from active listings.

Step 3: Set the End Date and Time
Click the second date picker for your end date
For single-day events, this matches your start date

FAQs
What happens after my event date passes? The message button is automatically removed, and the event eventually moves to archived status. Past conversations remain accessible in your inbox.
Can I edit the schedule after publishing? Yes. Navigate to your event listing, update the dates or times, and submit for re-review. Changes trigger a brief review before going live.
