Tired of entering the same address details over and over? Event organizers, we hear you. Sugar Calendar 3.5 introduces a powerful new way to manage your event venues.
The new Venues feature eliminates repetitive data entry by allowing you to create a library of reusable venues and seamlessly integrate them across your events.
Your attendees will always know exactly where to go with interactive maps, detailed venue information, and dedicated venue pages.
Whether you’re running a small conference center or managing events across multiple locations, each venue page serves as a comprehensive resource with all the information users may need before they visit.
A New Way to Manage Venues
With our new venue management system, you can create detailed venue profiles complete with addresses, contact details, and full event space descriptions.
Each venue gets its own dedicated page where visitors can find everything they need to know about the location from available facilities and accessibility details to parking information and nearby amenities.
Plus, you can create venues once and they’re ready to use again whenever you need them, complete with:
- Detailed address information
- Comprehensive descriptions
- Interactive Google Maps integration
- Featured images
Creating and managing venues is intuitive and flexible. You can add new venues while creating an event or manage them separately through our dedicated Venues dashboard. This dual approach ensures you can work the way that suits you best.
Interactive Maps at Your Fingertips
We know how important it is for your attendees to find your events easily. That’s why we’ve integrated Google Maps directly into the venue management system.
With a simple toggle, you can display interactive maps for any venue, helping your visitors get precise directions to your events.
Enhanced Calendar Navigation
Finding events got easier on the front end too. Visitors can now simply click on the name of the venue to see a filtered calendar view, making it simple to find all upcoming events at their favorite locations.
Whether you’re managing a single venue or dozens of locations, your calendar stays organized and accessible.
Pro Features That Make a Difference
While all Sugar Calendar users can add location details to events, Pro users unlock the full venue management system:
- A dedicated venue management dashboard for organizing all your locations
- Custom venue pages with the option to add photos, facilities lists, and detailed information
- Advanced calendar filtering by venue
- Interactive maps with Google Maps integration for directions
- Complete control over venue display and organization
We’ve designed the new venue system with your existing events in mind. Pro users can continue using their current location data while gradually transitioning to the new venue management system.
The familiar location field remains available when needed, ensuring none of your event information is lost during the upgrade.
The Future of Sugar Calendar
This venue management system is just the beginning of what we have planned for this year. We’ve got several game-changing updates in the pipeline that will transform how you manage and promote your events.
While I can’t reveal the details just yet, I guarantee 2025 is going to be an exciting year for Sugar Calendar users!
