You will then want to **Choose Your Event Type.**

There are three different event types on PayBee.

1. [**In-Person Event**](/home/events/in-person-events.md) is for the events hosted completely in person. Supports table assignment, paddle assignment, and generation, and much more.
2. [**Virtual Event**](/home/events/virtual-events/gala-settings.md#virtual-event-settings) is for the events entirely hosted virtually. Supports registration, RSVP, and other feature to manage and run virtual events.
3. [**Hybrid Event**](/home/events/hybrid-events.md) supports both virtual and in-person, being run simultaneously, with participants participating from in-room and virtually at the same time.

Once you have chosen your Event type you want to fill out the required Information to create the event.
