Allow organizer to add the institution that is a partner
Open, LowPublic

Description

As an event organizer, I want to be able to add organizing partners (such as GLAM institutions) to my EventDetails, so that people who join the event can understand who is involved at an institutional level rather than only at an individual level as an organizer.

Note: This can be a new optional field, and the information can be displayed below 'Organizers' in 'More Details' and EventDetails.

One of the complexities around this is that we can only store the institution as free text, most likely, since there is no predetermined list of institutions that will exclusively organize events, so it is not clear how useful this data will be for analytics and search filters.

Event Timeline

Some things we discussed include:

  • We cannot have a list of all of the organizations that organize events, so it would need to be stored as a string, most likely. This would make the data collection not very useful.
  • Adding a new field/section for organizing institutions could clutter the event registration user experience
  • A workaround is that institutions can prominently display their logo and information on the event page itself
  • This is lower priority, but we may reconsider and come back to it if we hear this feature request from more organizers or institutions
