If your plans go slightly awry, it’s simple to cancel an event and let people know.
There are two options for cancelling an event. Option 1 (from the Events page) is quickest. Option 2 (from the Specific Events page) allows you to review event details such as event attendees before you click that Cancel button.
Both options allow you to choose whether or not you send a cancellation notification to attendees.
