This is now available in the Event Details sections on your event pages!
You can add a publicly viewable virtual event web address to your event page, or make it available to only those who buy tickets.

For virtual event functionality -- if you don't want to share the link widely, the To Be Determined language that auto fills makes donors or ticket holders feel like the organization hosting the event doesn't know what it is doing. It would be great to have the functionality to add virtual event link will be sent to ticket holders.

We will be working on functionality to include a structured online address field to event pages, as opposed to the common workaround of adding this information to the event description!

I too would like to see a virtual event option. We just finished our first vitual gala and are thinking we may be virtual again next year. Some participants complained that the couldn't add our event to their calendar because there was no address associated with it.

Additional comment from Steve via Slack: "I think it would be helpful if Givelively had some options in place (sooner) for the Events planning that reflect the reality that most of our in-person events may become virtual for a while (even if they are not fundraisers). And even if we open up, they may even be mixed virtual/in-person (hard to wrap my head around that)."
