To add a venue, click one of the Add New Venue buttons at the top or bottom of the screen.

Contact: Add the details of the contact person for the event.
Venue Description: Add a description of the venue, this will be displayed when you use the Venue shortcodes.
Remember that sometimes the location of the event can be attraction for some attendees; they may want to travel to your event because of where it is. The venue may be a local spot or a traveling destination. Either way, take the opportunity to emphasize any benefits of the location that might matter to your attendees. Here are some ideas you can consider highlighting about your event venue:
- Address
- Facility type (hotel, office building, etc.)
- Amenities (pool, spa, workout equipment, wifi, security, parking, etc.)
- Suggested directions from major destinations (airport, parks, public transportation, etc.)
- Nearby businesses and attractions (sport parks, grocery stores, restaurants, museums, etc.)
- Special prices and rates (if you negotiated special rates, mention that and how people get better prices)
Accessibility, whether the venue can the location meet any disability or special needs.
Posting photos and videos of the location can help attract and build anticipation for the event. You can contact the event venue facility for high-quality photos and videos to publicize your event at that location.
