Event categories are a powerful feature that helps you organize and filter events on your calendar. By assigning categories to your events, you can make it easier for your users to find the events that interest them the most. Using event categories offers several advantages:

• Improved Organization: Keep your events organized and easy to manage.
• Enhanced User Experience: Users can quickly find events that match their interests by using category filters.
• Flexibility: Each event can be assigned to multiple options within each category, providing flexibility in how events are categorized.

For example, imagine you have a calendar for a community center. You might create categories like "Event Type" with options such as "Class", "Meeting" and "Social." Another category could be "Audience" with options like "Adults", "Teens" and "Kids." This way, users can filter events to find exactly what they're looking for.
