This article walks you through the four steps for setting up a successful event, plus practical tips that turn a confirmed event into a well-attended one. ##### Before you begin - **You need an active Location account.** If you haven't activated yet, see [Activating Your Location Account](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/activating-your-location-account). - **Know which providers your Places admin has approved.** Your Places admin controls which providers can request events at your Location. If you have a specific provider in mind, confirm they're on the approved list. See [Approving Providers](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/approving-providers). ##### The four-step playbook Hosting a CE event through CEU Events Places follows four steps, from deciding to host through getting the event on your calendar: ###### 1. Verify provider enrollment on CEU Events Before arranging an event, confirm the provider is on the CEU Events platform. You can browse the [public list of providers](https://www.ceuevents.com/providers). If a provider you'd like to host isn't yet on CEU Events, encourage them to create an account at [ceuevents.com](https://www.ceuevents.com) so they can request events at your Location. ###### 2. Ask the instructor to request an event at your Location Once you've confirmed the provider is active on CEU Events and approved by your Places admin, ask the instructor to submit an event request for the specific date, time, and course you'd like to host. Instructors can follow [Schedule Events at Approved Places (Instructors)](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/schedule-events-at-approved-places-instructors) for the steps on their side. **Note:** Only the instructor can submit an event request. Location managers cannot submit a request on an instructor's behalf. ###### 3. Accept the event request Once the instructor submits the request, you'll receive an email notification right away. Sign in to your Location account, review the request, and approve it. Approving the request locks in the event details and confirms the booking. See [Managing Requests for Places Accounts](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/managing-requests-for-places-accounts). ###### 4. Access and share the event invitation link Once you approve the request, the event appears under your **Events** menu with all its details — including the link to the registration page. Share that link on your website, social media, or in email newsletters to boost attendance and visibility. See [Retrieve an Event Invitation Page URL](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/retrieve-an-event-invitation-page-url). ##### Additional best practices - **Promote the event early.** Share the registration page link as soon as possible after approving the request. Earlier promotion means more sign-ups, better word-of-mouth, and stronger turnout. - **Confirm logistics before the event.** Once the event is on your calendar, follow up with the instructor on practical details — parking, room setup, AV needs, expected attendance, and any materials they'll be bringing or expecting from you. - **Plan for a smooth arrival experience.** A clean sign-in process, accessible parking, and clear signage to your space make a real difference in attendee satisfaction — especially for first-time visitors to your Location. - **Build relationships with providers and instructors.** A good first event is the easiest path to a second one. After a successful event, let the provider know you'd be open to hosting more. - **Track what works.** Note which course topics drew the best attendance, which providers brought the most engaged audiences, and which time slots fit your space well. Over time, this becomes a deliberate calendar strategy rather than a series of one-off requests. - **Coordinate with your Places admin** if you'd like to host a provider who isn't yet on the approved list, or if you notice patterns worth sharing across multiple Locations. #### Troubleshooting - **You can't find a provider you'd like to host on CEU Events.** They may not be subscribed yet. Encourage them to visit [www.ceuevents.com](https://www.ceuevents.com) to learn more, or [contact CEU Events support](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/kb-tickets/new) for help connecting them with the right team. - **A provider is on CEU Events but isn't able to request events at your Location.** Your Places admin hasn't approved them yet. Coordinate with your Places admin to add them to the approved list. See [Approving Providers](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/approving-providers). - **You didn't receive an email notification for an incoming request.** Check your spam folder, and confirm the email address on your Location account is one you actively monitor. Update your contact information if needed — you can do this under Account Settings in your Location account. - **You want to host a specific course but it's not showing up in the provider's available offerings.** Only courses that have been reviewed and approved by CEU Events can be requested. This ensures the CE credits will count toward state licenses and professional association memberships. If the course you want isn't available, ask the provider to confirm its review status with CEU Events. Course reviews can take several weeks; if the provider needs a status update, they can [contact CEU Events support](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/kb-tickets/new). - **Still have questions?** [Contact CEU Events support](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/kb-tickets/new) and we'll help. - [For Attendees](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-attendees#main-content) - [Certificates & Credits](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-attendees#certificates-credits) - [Attending Events](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-attendees#attending-events) - [Manage My Events](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-attendees#manage-my-events) - [My Account & Profile](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-attendees#my-account-profile) - [Reviews & Feedback](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-attendees#reviews-feedback) - [Organizations & Associations](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-attendees#organizations-associations) - [For Instructors](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-instructors#main-content) - [Best Practices](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-instructors#best-practices) - [Managing My Events](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-instructors#managing-my-events) - [Managing My Courses](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-instructors#managing-my-courses) - [Managing My Profile](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-instructors#managing-my-profile) - [Managing My Requests](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-instructors#managing-my-requests) - [Reports](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-instructors#reports) - [Marketing Resources](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-instructors#marketing-resources) - [For Providers](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-providers#main-content) - [Managing Instructors](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-providers#managing-instructors) - [Managing Courses](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-providers#managing-courses) - [Managing Requests](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-providers#managing-requests) - [Managing Events](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-providers#managing-events) - [Reports](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-providers#reports) - [Marketing Resources](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-providers#marketing-resources) - [Company Profile](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-providers#company-profile) - [Reviews & Feedback](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-providers#reviews-feedback) - [For Places/Locations](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-places-locations#main-content) - [Places Account](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-places-locations#places-account) - [Locations Account](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-places-locations#locations-account) - [For Conference Organizers](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-conference-organizers#main-content) - [Preparation for the Conference](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-conference-organizers#preparation-for-the-conference) - [During the Conference](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-conference-organizers#during-the-conference) - [General](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/general) [![CEU-Events-Logo](https://help.ceuevents.com/hs-fs/hubfs/CEU-Events-Logo-100-1.png?width=100&height=100&name=CEU-Events-Logo-100-1.png "CEU-Events-Logo")](http://www.ceuevents.com) [www.ceuevents.com](https://www.ceuevents.com) Copyright © 2026, CEU Events [Report an issue with this article](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/kb-tickets/new)
