The Events Tab in Venue Driver is where the user can enter and list the events at their venue, as well as input and view VIP reservation and guestlist returns. If the venue's website is integrated with Venue Driver, events entered here will list on the public website of the venue. Which fields list on the public website are determined at the time of integration. Web-based check-in functions can be accessed here as well.
