You can add a co-host while creating a Facebook Event or to an existing Facebook Event. A co-host is a person to whom you grant some rights and capabilities to help organize and manage the event.
I used to often use the feature of adding a co-host when organizing various events on Facebook. For example, when we were planning a meeting with friends, adding a co-host helped us spread the load and make the event more organized. In addition, a co-host can make changes to the event information, such as adding a description, or updating the time or location, which frees you from having to do everything yourself.
