# Add an Event to your Group

### Create an Event

1. From your SocialGlow dashboard, select **Groups.**

2. Locate the name of the group you want to add an event to, then click the number that appears under the *Events* column beside that group.

| SocialGlow will send two email reminders to your group members, so they don't forget or miss out: one day before, and another 5 minutes before the event starts.
