Use the text field dedicated to the description of the event to enter specific information on what will be done during the program, any guests present and, if you deem it necessary, also give some information on how to reach the location that will host the event.
- Sponsor the event - if you have created an event using your Facebook page, consider sponsoring it through a paid advertisement, so as to give it greater visibility. More info here.
