The Events application can be accessed using the Applications menu or the Events icon just next to the Groups icon. If you do not see an Events bookmark in the menu or the Events icon, use the search box at the top of the page and follow the link that appears. While using the application, you will see the option to bookmark it in the bar at the bottom of the page. You may adjust the order of your bookmarks at any time by dragging them within the Applications menu.
Keep in mind that you can also access individual upcoming events by typing their names into the search box and following the direct link that appears. An image of Events page is given below.
In the Events page, you will see four tabs:
Upcoming Events: This tab will list all the upcoming events to which you have been invited. All the events will have information about where and when. Towards the right of each event you will see two link. The first one, ‘View Guest List’ will show all the guests who have been invited to the event. The guests will be group under Attending, Maybe, Declined, and Not Yet Responded groups. You can remove an event from your list of upcoming events by clicking the ‘Remove from My Events’ link . You will be removed from the list of invited guests and the event will be removed from your profile.
Friends Events: This tab will list all ongoing or upcoming event that your friends have created. You can view the guest list and also RSVP to the event. From this tab, you can see all the events that your friends are attending.

How to RSVP or respond to an event?
When you are invited to an event, a notification will be posted on your home page and you will also receive a notification email. To respond to the invitation, simply follow the link in either notification and choose whether you are “attending,” “maybe attending,” or “not attending.” If you have declined the invitation, but you somehow made up you mind to attend the event, go to the Events page. Edit your RSVP for the event.
Creating an event will be discussed in a separate tutorial.
