Description
KapiNex Events turns a SharePoint page into an events hub. People browse upcoming conferences, meetups and internal sessions as cards or a compact list, filter them, and open a full event page with the agenda, speakers, venue and FAQ. Editors publish and update events straight from the page, with no list forms to fill in.
Everything is stored in a SharePoint list on your site. The web part creates the list and its columns from the property pane in one click, and uses the site’s own permissions: only people who can edit the list see Create, Edit and Delete.

Note: Full-width sections are a standard SharePoint limitation. They are natively supported only on Communication Sites and are not available on Team Sites. This applies to all web parts, including Microsoft’s out-of-the-box web parts and custom-developed ones.
If you are using a Team Site and need a full-width layout, you can download and install our FullWidth extension from here.
FAQ’s
What is the best way to show events on a SharePoint page?
The simplest way is to add an events web part to a SharePoint page. KapiNex Events is an SPFx web part that shows events from a SharePoint list as cards or a list, with search, filters and a detailed event page that includes the agenda, speakers, venue and FAQ.
Where does KapiNex Events store event data?
KapiNex Events stores every event in a SharePoint list on the site where the web part is added. Images, such as cover images and speaker photos, are saved as attachments on the event’s list item. Your event data stays inside your Microsoft 365 tenant.
How do I create the events list?
Open the web part settings and select **Provision / update list**. KapiNex Events creates the list and all of its columns automatically. Running it again only adds columns that are missing, so it is safe to repeat.
Who can create or edit events?
Anyone with permission to add or edit items in the events list. KapiNex Events checks the list permissions for each visitor and shows Create, Edit and Delete only to people allowed to use them. Everyone else sees a read-only events page.
Can attendees add events to Outlook?
Yes. Each event has an **Add to Calendar** menu with options for Outlook, Google Calendar, and a downloadable .ics file that works with most calendar apps.
Does KapiNex Events support hybrid and virtual events?
Yes. Each event can be set to In-Person, Hybrid or Virtual. Hybrid and virtual events can include a stream link, and in-person and hybrid events show the venue with an embedded map and directions.
Can I add speakers with photos?
Yes. The event form includes a Speakers section where you add each speaker’s name, role, company, bio and photo. Photos can be uploaded or linked by URL, and they appear as speaker profile cards on the event page.
Can I change the colors to match our brand?
Yes. In the web part settings, choose light, dark or automatic colour mode, then pick a primary colour from the presets or enter any hex colour. Hover states and accent shades adjust automatically.
Can events be saved as drafts?
Yes. Events can be Draft, Published or Cancelled. Drafts are visible only to people who can edit the events list, so you can prepare events before announcing them.
Can I link directly to a single event?
Yes. The Share menu copies a link that opens the page with that event’s details already open, which is useful in emails, Teams chats and newsletters.
Do I need PowerShell or developer skills to set it up
No. After the package is added to the App Catalog, a site owner adds the web part to a page and creates the events list from the web part settings in one click.
