This article describes the process of setting up redirects from Slate-hosted event registration and confirmation pages.
Use-cases
You might set up a redirect if:
You want to create an event in Slate but want its registration form to be hosted outside of Slate
You want the event’s confirmation page to redirect to a different URL than the Slate-hosted confirmation page
Example: Joint travel event
Let’s say you’re participating in a joint travel event with another institution. That other institution hosts the registration form.
You’d want to list the event somewhere on your website, but your constituents would be registering for the event through the other institution’s site.
So, you would configure a redirect from your site to the other institution’s.

Select an event, or create a new event.
