The Event widget is a structured content type that includes description, location, and date fields to enable you to create an event posting. You can configure the widget so that it will only display those fields for which you have created content. If you omit any of the fields, they do not appear in the rendered event. For example, in the following graphic, the Summary, Location, and End date time fields were not filled and do not appear in the rendered content.
