You can advertise events you may be holding, whether these are in-person or online events, to encourage engagement with your users and feature these within your media hub.

To add a new event within the Vennture Media Hub, navigate to the media items section in the left-hand menu, then click on the 'Add Media' button and select 'Event' from the drop-down menu that appears.

This opens up the next window where you can populate all the relevant fields for your event - each of these is explained below;

Title: The title of your event.
Sticky or Featured: You can tick one or both of these to have your event displayed in certain places on your media hub webpage - learn more about these here.

Post Date: You can use the date selector to choose a post date for your event or type the date manually in the DD/MM/YYYY format. This date can be in the future, or you can backdate your posts if you wish.
Image: This is the header image that appears at the top of each event post - this should ideally be uploaded in dimensions of 1920x1080 pixels.

Author: To choose the author for your event, click on the field, then select the relevant person or people from the drop-down list. If you want to add a new author, you can do this by clicking on the + icon next to the field, which gives you further fields to fill in to create a new author ready for you to use.
Tags and Categories: Like the author field, you can select multiple tags and categories for your event by selecting them from the drop-down list. If you want to add new tags or categories, you can use the + icon on each of these fields.
Start Date/Time: Add in the date and time of your event.
Registration Date/Time: In this field, add the date and time when registration for the event will close. After this point, the register button on the event page will be hidden.
Location: Add in the location of your event, whether a physical address or just an online
Overview: This field is used to give an overview of the event you are hosting for use

Content: This is where you can add any longer content to support your event or to give more information to the user on what the event is about, maybe include some timings and what a user can expect from the event. This field is equipped with a full text editor, so you can style your content however you wish.
Link: You can add a link here, which will redirect your user to the booking process to sign up for the event, whether that's on an external website like Eventbrite or elsewhere. This is displayed as a Register button on your event page.
Guest Speakers: This field is used to display any guest speakers you have at your event - select the relevant person or people from the drop-down list or use the + icon to add a new guest speaker.

Meta Data: There are three fields for you to fill in here - meta description, meta keywords and meta canonical. These are not required, but it is good SEO practice to have them filled in. For more guidance and information on meta tags, see our guide here.

When you have completed all the relevant fields, click Save, and your event will appear on your website, meaning you can start to advertise and promote your event to your intended audience.
