The new Microsoft Teams events experience lets you discover, create, and manage online and hybrid events through one connected workflow. A single destination helps you find upcoming events, track the ones you plan to attend, and create your own.
Organizers gain more reach, control, and flexibility with an intuitive scheduling form and prebuilt templates for familiar formats like town halls and interactive webinars. Once configured, events can be saved as reusable templates and promoted by inviting attendees directly or making them discoverable across your organization.
Event management is also centralized, allowing you to update details, monitor registrations, and keep everything organized in one place. Whether you are hosting a small community session, a customer webinar, or a company-wide all-hands, Teams makes it easier to plan and run the events that keep your organization connected.
