# Respond to an event

Once you've [accessed an event](/suppliers/suppliers/getting-started/how-do-i-access-an-event.md), you can review and respond. The buyer sets a Close Date for each event, and you can only respond until the event closes.

### Respond by event type <a href="#respondbyeventtype" id="respondbyeventtype"></a>

When you're ready to respond, you'll need to complete the required fields and then submit your response. Depending on the type of event, the required fields and steps may vary. For example, on a request for quote event, you'll need to enter the quote number, delivery days, and unit price for the requested goods or services.
