Dear team,

I was wondering what is the best practice if our events have 2 different locations during only one event. What is the best way to put this on the website? Thank you very much in advance.

KR,
Samuel

We have one weekend event with 2 locations and 1 week long event with several locations. Generally I use the desciption field. Location: xxxx. There is also a location field you can use but I always find myself not using it.

Hi Samuel- 
Thank you for using the Cvent Community! 

There's a couple of different routes you can take to display the locations of the different locations throughout your event. I would recommend our field for Session Location that can be inputted as you create or import sessions into your event, although what Steven mentioned above by putting it in the description of the session is also a fantastic way to display the information. 

You can always utilize your email marketing within the event, as well as putting information on the event website to ensure that your registrants are aware of the separate locations within one event. 


Hope this helps,

Hi Samuel,

Steven and Morgan are absolutely correct! But I wanted to let you know of another note: at Cvent, we call these "Umbrella Events," and we have an artilce in the community that outlines the best way to set these up:
