The platform works best when the people leading the events are also part of the platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is a Venue Channel?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A Venue Channel is a Creator Channel connected to a claimed venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It gives the venue a public page on Todo.Today, where people can see information about the venue and upcoming events happening there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The special part is that a Venue Channel can also show events submitted by different facilitators, as long as they selected that venue as the location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, if a yoga teacher submits a class and selects your venue, the event can appear on both the teacher\u2019s Creator Channel and your Venue Channel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This means the venue can show a full schedule without needing to submit the same events again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why We Created Venue Channels<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Venue Channels were created to make things easier and cleaner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before Venue Channels, the same event could be submitted twice: once by the facilitator and once by the venue. This creates duplicates, confusion, and extra moderation work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Venue Channels solve this by letting each event stay connected to the right creator, while still appearing on the venue\u2019s page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ideal flow is simple:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The facilitator submits the event.<br>The facilitator selects the venue.<br>The event appears on the facilitator\u2019s channel.<br>The event also appears on the venue channel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This gives visibility to both the facilitator and the venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Facilitators Should Submit Their Own Events<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Todo.Today is a community-driven platform. The main engine of the platform is the creators themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many facilitators teach in different venues. Their Creator Channel helps people follow their work, see where they are teaching, and discover their upcoming events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When facilitators submit their own events, they stay responsible for the information they publish. They can update the details, cancel the event if needed, and keep their audience informed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This also helps Todo.Today keep visibility fair and balanced across the local creator community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can a Venue Submit Events?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, venues can submit events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This makes sense when the venue is the actual organizer, or when the event is managed directly by the venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But when an event is led by a facilitator who already has a Todo.Today account, the best practice is for the facilitator to submit and manage the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If a venue submits many facilitator-led events under the venue account, Todo.Today treats them as events from one creator: the venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That means the events are grouped under the venue account, not separately under each facilitator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How This Affects Visibility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Todo.Today gives visibility based on quality, balance, timing, relevance, and creator participation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Submitting many events from one venue account does not automatically create more visibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A creator with 20 events does not automatically get more exposure than a creator with 2 or 3 good events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When facilitators submit their own events, the events are connected to the right creator, which gives clearer ownership and better visibility across the platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When a venue submits the full schedule centrally, those events can still appear on the Venue Channel, but they may receive lower visibility in other discovery areas compared to creator-submitted events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This may affect visibility on the website, app, search, recommendations, and WhatsApp or Telegram digest consideration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best Practice for Venues<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The best way for venues to use Todo.Today is to ask each facilitator to submit their own events and select the venue as the location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The venue still gets a complete schedule through the Venue Channel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The facilitator keeps their own Creator Channel and event ownership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The audience gets clearer information about who is leading the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This keeps Todo.Today organized, fair, and community-driven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Venue Channels help venues show everything happening in their space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They are designed to support venues without replacing the role of facilitators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Best setup:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Facilitators submit their own events.<br>They select the venue as the location.<br>The event appears on both the Creator Channel and the Venue Channel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This gives the best visibility to everyone and keeps Todo.Today focused on the local creator community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Venue Channels work: why a venue&#8217;s page shows facilitator-submitted events, why facilitators should submit their own, and the best setup for venues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"ttg_helpful_yes":0,"ttg_helpful_no":0,"tt_seo_title":"","tt_seo_description":"","footnotes":""},"guide_category":[1188],"class_list":["post-104845","guide","type-guide","status-publish","hentry","guide_category-creators"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/todo.today\/api\/wp\/v2\/guide\/104845","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/todo.today\/api\/wp\/v2\/guide"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/todo.today\/api\/wp\/v2\/types\/guide"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/todo.today\/api\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/todo.today\/api\/wp\/v2\/guide\/104845\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/todo.today\/api\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=104845"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"guide_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/todo.today\/api\/wp\/v2\/guide_category?post=104845"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
