Events
What this area is for
Use the Events area to browse upcoming events, review event details, and submit eligible listings.
Main features
- browse the main events page as a fast server-rendered card list
- open full event pages with details and booking links
- spot featured, commercial, and official event badges
- submit member events through Member Event Submission if that route is available to you
- submit commercial event listings through the guided form
- record your attendance on finished CPD-enabled events when the attendance action is shown
Good to know
- the main
/events/page now favours a faster card list instead of depending on the JavaScript calendar for first render - the legacy calendar renderer still exists behind the
solas_events_calendarshortcode if needed in an explicit calendar mode - events cannot start in the past
- submitted events are limited to a 3 day maximum
- ticketed events may show a direct online ticket booking option
- if an event offers CPD attendance recording, the attendance action appears after the event has finished
- if the same SOLAS event is already credited through a Teams import or linked recording, the page should warn that the CPD has already been awarded instead of adding duplicate points
Best next step
Start with the Events page, then open Member Event Submission or the commercial submission form if you want to add a new listing.
