[Places Account](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-places-locations#places-account) May 30, 2026 # Adding Locations ## How to add a new Location to your CEU Events Places account so a Location manager can activate it and start hosting events. 🏢 **This article is for Places.** Adding a Location is how you grow your Places account beyond a single venue. Once you add a Location, an email goes to the Location manager so they can activate their account and start receiving event requests from approved providers. This article walks you through the process. ##### Before you begin - **Only the Places account manager can add Locations.** Location managers and other users do not have permission to add new Locations. - **Have your Location manager's contact details ready.** Their email address is what triggers their activation invite, so make sure you have the right one. - **Confirm you have license capacity for the new Location.** Each Places account has a set number of Location licenses included. If you've reached your limit, you'll need to purchase additional licenses before adding more — see the troubleshooting section below. - **Pick a Location name that users will recognize.** Names like "Your Company Name – Los Angeles" work well; vague or internal-only names make it harder for providers and attendees to identify the right venue. ##### How to add a Location 1. Sign in to [www.ceuevents.com](https://www.ceuevents.com) with your **CEU Events Places account credentials**. 2. Click **Locations**. 3. Click **+ Locations**. 4. Complete the required information for the new Location, including the Location name, address, and the email address of the Location manager. 5. Click **Save**. > 💡 **Tip:** For **Location Name**, enter a name that's easily recognized — typically your company name plus a city or area identifier (for example, *Acme Architects – Chicago*). This is what providers and attendees will see when browsing or requesting events at your Locations. ##### What happens next - **An activation email is sent to the Location manager** asking them to complete their registration. The email goes to the address you entered for the Location manager when you saved the Location. - **The Location manager activates their account.** Once they complete registration, the Location is fully active and can begin receiving event requests from approved providers. See [Activating CEU Events Location Account](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/activating-your-location-account). - **You can add a cover image to the Location.** After creating the Location, you can go back and add a cover image — see [Upload or Update a Cover Image for Locations](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/upload-or-update-a-cover-image-for-locations). > 📝 **Note:** Make sure your Location manager completes their activation as soon as possible. Until they activate their account, the Location cannot receive event requests or host events. ##### Best practices - **Add Locations early.** Adding a Location well in advance of when you want events hosted there gives the Location manager time to activate, complete their profile, and get familiar with the platform. - **Give your Location manager a heads-up.** Let them know an activation email is coming so they don't miss it in a busy inbox or assume it's spam. - **Use consistent naming across Locations.** If you have multiple Locations, a consistent format (Company Name – City) makes them easier to find, compare, and report on. - **Add the cover image right after creating the Location.** Locations with a cover image look more polished to providers and attendees browsing or requesting events. - **Keep contact details current.** If your Location manager changes, update the Location's contact information so future communications go to the right person. #### Troubleshooting - **You don't see the Locations menu.** Confirm you're signed in as the Places account manager. Location managers and other roles don't have permission to add Locations. - **The Location manager didn't receive their activation email.** Ask them to check their spam or junk folder. Confirm the email address you entered is spelled correctly. If it's wrong, you may need to update it or [contact CEU Events support](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/kb-tickets/new) for help resending. - **You've reached your license limit and can't add another Location.** Each Places account has a set number of Location licenses. To purchase additional licenses, email [sales@ceuevents.com](mailto:sales@ceuevents.com). - **You need to edit a Location's details after saving.** Return to the Locations section in your Places account and select the Location to update its information.
