Every event is assigned a category. This category determines which category page your event appears on and helps attendees find it when browsing by type. Choosing the right one gives your event relevant exposure beyond the main Explore page.
Available categoriesThe available event categories are: Arts, Birthday, Bootcamp, Business, Carnival, Comedy, Competition, Community, Concert, Corporate, Education, Entertainment, Food, Hangouts, Music, Religion, Retreats, Seminar, Social, Sports, Technology, Tournaments, and Wedding.
Each category has its own page, for example,showrave.com/musicorshowrave.com/sports, where all events in that category are listed.
How to set your event categoryTheEvent Categoryfield appears on the event creation form at the top of theEvent Detailsstep. Choose the category that best describes the primary type of your event.
If your event falls between multiple categories, pick the one that best describes how your target audience would search for it. A corporate networking evening fits better under Corporate or Business than under Social, even though it has social elements.
Updating the category on a published eventIf you chose the wrong category, you can update it at any time by editing your event. Go toMy Events → Live Events, clickEdit, and change theCategoryfield. SeeHow to edit your event details.
Why category mattersBeyond the Explore page, category pages are indexed by search engines. An event in the correct category can appear in search results when someone searches for that type of event in their location. A miscategorised event misses that audience entirely.
