A lot has changed in the world of events since we launched this feature so I think an exploration into better supporting virtual events is in order. We'll take it into consideration and let you know once we have some design ideas.</P> Wed, 25 Aug 2021 20:30:24 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-hub-ideas/arcgis-hub-events-attend-event-button-does-not/idc-p/1092471#M312 Anonymous User 2021-08-25T20:30:24Z
