What venue details are visible throughout the site?
Venues
Venues are associated with events from the session form. Associating a venue can capture where your event is taking place. Venues can be set up ahead of creating a session, within the Venues menu located on the left navigation bar.
Upon accessing the Venues menu, you can search for an existing venue by name. Additionally, the table of venues will include the following information:
- Venue name (sortable)
- Enabled: whether the venue is enabled or disabled (Learn more here)
- Associated Sessions: the number of sessions tied to this venue
- City entered
- State entered
In addition to the above, you will have access to a row action menu for each venue. The row action menu will expose the option to Edit, Enable/Disable, and Delete. See more on disabling and enabling venues here.

In addition to editing an existing venue, you can disable, enable, or delete a venue.
- Disabling a venue will remove this selection from the venue dropdown. This venue will continue to remain tied to any associated sessions and will be visible within reports.
- Enabling a venue will expose this value within the session form so that administrators can associate it with events.
- Deleting a venue will remove this value from all associated sessions and reports. Take caution when using this action, as it cannot be undone.
