# Common Issues and Solutions

# Events Not Displaying in Dashboard

Problem: You may not see all events you have submitted in your main dashboard.

Solution: Visit the Members Events List URL, which collates events differently than the dashboard.

Note: This can sometimes happen if we have been importing your events from Eventbrite.

# Troubleshooting Steps

  1. Check the Members Events List: Visit https://www.b2bea.org/events/members/list
  2. Verify Event Status: Ensure events are published, not in draft
  3. Check Account Access: Confirm you're logged into the correct account
