With Virtually's Draft Events feature, you can start the process of creating an event and publish it to your members only once all the details have been finalized.
About Draft Events
The draft events feature in Virtually lets you take the first few steps of creating an event and save it to Virtually. Draft events do NOT go out to your calendar and invites do not get sent. (Until you choose to publish the event of course!)
When you save an event as a draft, you can easily go in and edit the following event information as well:
Event name
Description
Date and Time
Add external guests
Security settings
Post session feedback survey toggle
However, when you create a draft event, you will not be able to edit the following fields:
Recurring information
Conference location
Guest list
Calendar
Notifications (i.e. calendar invites)
Reminders
