# Creating a one-off event

Set up a single session, from details to confirmation email.

A one-off event is a single session: a workshop, a briefing, or anything that happens just once rather than on a repeating schedule.&#x20;

If you're setting up something like a:

* training workshop
* a one-time consultation
* a briefing tied to a specific date,&#x20;

...or anything similar, this is the right track.

{% hint style="info" %}
If your event repeats on a regular cadence instead, like weekly clinic slots or recurring facility bookings, head to [Creating a recurring event](/creating-an-event/creating-a-one-off-event.md) instead.
{% endhint %}

#### Create your one-off event

Give your event a clear title so attendees know what they're signing up for before they book.

Click on 'One-off event'
