Quick Answer
Add your event venue in the Locations tab to let attendees know where to go. Enter the complete address so visitors can get directions and plan their attendance. For virtual events, you can skip this section entirely and direct attendees to your Event Website instead.
Overview
The Event Location section tells potential attendees where your event takes place. Unlike Profile and Organization listings, event locations are always visible—there's no option to hide them. This makes sense because knowing where an event is held is essential for attendance planning.
Event locations also influence which publications your event appears on within the Heritage Web network, helping you reach audiences in your event's geographic area.

FAQs
Is a venue location required?
No. Virtual or online events don't need a physical location. Leave the section empty for virtual events and use your Event Website to direct attendees.
Can I add multiple venues?
Yes. For multi-venue events like conferences or festivals, you can add multiple locations. See "Events with Multiple Locations" for details.
Why can't I hide my event location?
Event locations are always visible because attendees need to know where to go. Unlike business listings where you might want privacy, events require location transparency for attendance.
Where do I set event times?
Event timing goes in the Schedule section on the Event Details tab—not in Locations. The Schedule captures start date/time, end date/time, and timezone.
How do I show a virtual event?
Leave the location section empty and add your virtual event link (Zoom, YouTube, etc.) in the Event Website field on the Locations tab.
Will my event get leads based on location?
No. Events don't participate in lead matching. The location helps with publication placement and tells attendees where to go, but events don't receive referral leads like Profile or Organization listings.
