Organizing events with categories

Event categories let you group events on your storefront and in your back-office Events list. Use them to separate event types (Galas, Mixers, Golf, Webinars) so sponsors can find what they care about and your team can filter the admin view.

• You need an org_manager or chamber_staff role to manage categories

• Decide a small number of meaningful categories (3-6 is usually right)

1. Open Settings > Event Categories

2. Click New category

3. Enter a Name and optional Description

4. Pick a Color for the badge that appears on event cards

5. Click Save

1. Open the event from Sidebar > Events

2. Click Edit event

3. Pick a category from the Category dropdown

4. Click Save

• Keep category names short — they appear as badges on event cards

• Use category colors that contrast with your brand kit so they stay readable

• Avoid overlapping categories — pick one purpose per event

• Categories also appear as filter tabs on the public storefront if you have more than 3 events

Can an event belong to multiple categories?
Not yet. Pick the most relevant one.

What happens if I delete a category?
Events assigned to it become uncategorized. They are not deleted.

Can sponsors filter by category on the storefront?
Yes — categories appear as filter chips above the event list.
