Organizations

Manage the producing companies, sponsors, and partner organisations connected to your events

An organization is a reusable record for an institution connected to your events: a producing company, co-producer, presenting partner, sponsor, or any other organisation worth crediting on the live site.

Organizations work like people records, but for institutions rather than individuals. They have their own public pages, and the same organization can be referenced from any number of events.

What an organization record contains

  • A name: the institution's canonical name.
  • A description: a short plain-text summary of the organization.
  • A logo or identity image.
  • A type: either Producer or Sponsor.

How organizations relate to events

An organization can appear on an event in two roles:

  • As the producing company: the institution presenting or producing the event itself. An event names a single producing company; credit co-producers as participants instead.
  • As a participant or contextual organization: for sponsors, partners, supporting funders, or any institution whose involvement deserves a credit.

Both roles use the same organization record; the difference is how the event references it.
