Event Brands provide a common image, appearance, and other details, and lets you quickly create, manage and group Events with a shared theme, for example, weekly club nights and socials.
This gives you the ability to:
- Create new events quickly, using a Brand as a template
- Display events of the same Brand together on an event or website page
- Group and display tickets belonging to the same Brand
- View event attendance grouped by Brand
- Display a consistent theme for your regular events by linking a Brand to an Event Template
