 To add your event to the GTN, you will need to supply your course information (dates, location, program, etc). You will then get [an event page like this]({% link events/2024-04-01-example-event.md %}) which you can use during your training. This page includes a course overview, course handbook (full program with links to tutorials) and setup instructions for participants.
 
 Your event will also be shown on the [GTN event horizon]({% link events/index.md %}) and on the homepage. We are also happy to advertise your event on social media and Matrix channels.
