Commenting on Events

Commenting is essential spin up engagement, excitement around events.

Some of our top Community users are actually speakers at this event but I cant give them a shoutout.

And it’s another thing why I fail to understand, why is the Event content type only offered from the Admin console and not for the end user (based on Roles?)

@anirbandutta what we do is create a topic and add it as a featured topic on the event. We often have pre-event topics, day-of, and post-event topics where we recap, share recordings/slides, and take additional question.

Hmm… thank you @Scott Baldwin , A topic (I wish a blogpost) is a great summary, but the event content type itself I think, is a great engagement opportunity, just like Facebook events.

Moreover, I dont know why is ‘Events’ are classified to the Moderator role only on Insided - I’d like to hear your thoughts here 

 

It's an opportunity for engagement

Facebook’s event model is certainly different in that the engagement is on the event directly vs. via separate topics but I also think that can restrict the visibility of conversations to just the event content type itself vs. opening up awareness to a wider range of people that may have missed the event entirely. Will check out your other idea.
