Quick Start — Venue Managers¶
Get your venue listed, bookable, and ready for day-of operations in under an hour.
Who this is for¶
Venue owners, general managers, and operations leads who want bookings, contracts, deposits, planning details, and day-of ops in one Nigall workspace—not only organizers booking your space.
1. Create your account¶
- Go to
/accounts/signup/. - Open
/users/profile/edit/and set User type to Venue Manager. - Add company name and primary contact details.
Details: Account Setup
2. Unlock Venue Management¶
Venue Management is included with Presenter Pro and above.
- Open
/pricing/#platform-tools. - Choose Presenter Pro (or Operations Suite / Planner Pro / Enterprise).
- Confirm subscription, then open the Tools hub.
Details: Billing & Subscriptions
3. Create your venue profile¶
- Open
/events/venues/create/. - Complete the wizard:
- Basic info & photos
- Location & parking
- Capacities & rooms
- Amenities & AV

Full guide: Venue Management
4. Respond to bookings¶
- Organizers find you at
/events/venues/directory/. - Open each booking at
/events/venues/bookings/<id>/. - Advance the pipeline: quote → accept → mark contract/deposit → confirm → walkthrough → load-in → event day → inspection → close.
5. Link ops to events¶
When an organizer links your venue to their event, location and check-in defaults flow into the event record. If you also host events on Nigall, use organizer modules (attendees, volunteers, program) for staffing and guest flow.
