1. Activate the event management plugin: Once you have installed the event management plugin, you need to activate it in the plugins manager in Joomla. To do this, go to “Extensions” > “Plugin Manager” and find the event management plugin in the list. Then, click on the checkbox next to the plugin name and click on the “Enable” button.
1. Configure the event management plugin: After activating the plugin, you can now configure it according to your needs. Depending on the event management plugin you have installed, the configuration options may vary. Typically, you will be able to set up event categories, event details, registration options, and payment gateways if applicable.
1. Create events: Once your event management plugin is configured, you can start creating events. To create a new event, go to “Components” > “Event Management” and click on “Add Event”. You will then be able to enter all the necessary details about the event, such as the date, time, location, description, and registration options.

Typically, event management plugins offer several ways to display events, such as through a calendar view or a list view. You can also create dedicated event pages with custom information and registration forms.

You can view who has registered, how many spots are still available, and send out registration confirmations and reminders to attendees. Some event management plugins also offer additional features like ticketing, check-in options, and post-event surveys.
