Organisations are the institutions behind your event: hosts, co-hosts, sponsors and partners, plus the organisations your speakers appear for. You create, edit, archive, restore and publish each one individually. An organisation’s master data is global, which is why a sponsor looks the same across all your events.

You always create an organisation from within a context, for example when assigning a partner or in a programme item’s “Organisations” box. The dialogue starts with the organisation’s website and suggests name, logo and description, without overwriting anything you have already entered. You enter the host organisation in the event settings.

From edition to edition

If you run the same event every year, you meet many familiar partners again. If your event belongs to a series, you adopt organisations from earlier editions instead of creating them again. A Producer can lock an organisation’s master data so nobody changes it by accident. Once the “Organisations” box on a programme item is fully planned, you mark it as “Done”, and it is locked for everyone until someone unlocks it again.
