This is a detailed explanation of your event. It will assist you in recalling the purpose of the particular event type.
Fine-tune your meeting schedule with:
Set fixed meeting lengths - Quick check-ins (15-20 min), Standard meetings (30-45 min), In-depth discussions (60-90 min).
Control start times - 15-minute increments for maximum flexibility (9:00, 9:15, 9:30, 9:45), 30-minute increments for balanced schedule (9:00, 9:30, 10:00), or 60-minute increments for hourly starts.
Add 0-30 minutes before events (prepare materials, join early, quick breaks) and after events (follow-up notes, send materials, travel time).
Make your booking experience feel familiar to your visitors by choosing appropriate regional settings.
Set your booking page and email notifications to English or French
Important: Custom text (greeting message and description) must be written in your chosen language, as they won't be automatically translated
12-hour format (2:30 PM) for US/UK audiences

This text appears above the booking slots and is the first interaction your prospect will have with your scheduling page.
Provide a description of the event type to your prospects, for instance: we will investigate your use case and see how Distro can help you.
Set minimum notice (immediate to 2 days) and booking window (15-90 days, example: 30-day window limits bookings to next month only).
