# The public event page

> What guests see at your event's URL, how the registration button changes, and where published events are listed.

Your event's public page lives at `cal.com/<event-slug>`.

## What the page shows

* The cover image, title, and description
* The date and time, in the viewer's local time
* The location, or a note that it is revealed after registration
* The hosts
* The guest section, according to your **Public guests** setting
* A registration button

The page can also show scarcity messages, such as how many spots are left or **Near capacity**.

## The registration button

The button changes with the situation:

| What the button says      | When                                                                                                    |
| ------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Register**              | The standard state                                                                                      |
| **Register in one click** | A signed-in Cal.com user, on an event with no extra registration questions, no approval, and no captcha |
| **Request to join**       | Approval is required                                                                                    |
| **Join waitlist**         | The event is full and the waitlist is on                                                                |
| **Sold out**              | The event is full and there is no waitlist                                                              |
| **Get your ticket**       | A paid event                                                                                            |

Returning guests see their own state instead: **You're going**, **Pending approval**, or **You're on the waitlist**. As the host, you see **You're hosting, manage event**.

When the event has ended, has already started, or was cancelled, the page says so and registration is closed.

## What guests should know

* Guests do not need a Cal.com account to register.
* Only one registration per email address per event. Trying again shows that they are already registered.
* Registrants get a personal status link to view or manage their registration.

## Share the event

The **Share event** dialog gives you the link and a QR code, which is useful for posters and slides.

## Where published events are listed

Published events appear in public per-profile event directories:

* `cal.com/<username>/events`
* `cal.com/team/<team-slug>/events`
* `cal.com/org/<orgSlug>/<username>/events`

Each lists that profile's public events.

To keep a specific event out of that listing, turn on the **Private event** toggle. The event stays reachable by its direct link but does not appear in the directory.

<Note>
  This is separate from the public profile visibility toggle used for Links, which does not apply to events.
</Note>

## Embedding

The event page can be embedded. When you view your own embedded event, you see a **You're hosting this event** note.
