How can I have multiple event venues for an event?

Thanks to a feature called "Multiple Locations" in the MCP, you have the ability to work with more than one venue for an event!

The main benefit of entering additional locations is that your attendees can use them to determine how far away their various hotels options are. The additional locations can be used to sort hotels on the Hotel Selection stage of the front-end by distance of the venue. An example can found at the bottom of this article.

Adding an addition event location

To add a new event location, go to your event's The Basics tab and click "Manage Multiple Locations".

A pop-up dialogue will appear. This dialogue will be blank for now, but once you have added additional event locations, they will show up here. Click "New Location" to continue.

Next, all you have to do is enter the address of the location so the system can determine its distances.

Once saved, the next step is to update the location's distances to each hotel. Click "Update Distances", and the magic of Meetingmax will assign values for you!

That's all there is to it! Now, each time you revisit the Mange Multiple Locations box, you'll have the opportunity to update each location's distance, address, and you can choose to remove each option all together.

Adding your additional locations to the event front-end

To make the location a sort option for your event's front-end, head to the Fine Tune tab and scroll to the "Hotel Sort" heading. Here, you should now see your new location show up under the "Sort Options" drop down. If you don't see it, refresh your page and try again.

Once you add the option to the list of sort options, save the page and visit your event's front-end. On the Hotel Selection step, you will see the option is included in your sort options for your attendees to see how far away a given hotel is!

That's that!
