Overview
The new event form lives at Events → Create. It is one page with Event Details, Photo Memories, collapsible Privacy & Localization, and Storage sections, plus a live review panel on the right. The form uses real-time validation, so the Create Event button stays disabled until required fields are valid. For the fastest possible flow, see Create your first event. This page is the deep reference.
