We launched Verified Organizations because event scams are a real problem and we kept seeing it come up over and over again on Reddit and Facebook. Vendors with good intentions were getting burned by fake or shady events, and organizers had no easy way to prove they were legit.
So we built the verified badge.
How to Get Access
Verified Organizations is available on our Growth plan and above. When you upgrade, you get the badge automatically tied to your account.
How It Works
Once you're verified, a checkmark badge shows up on your organization profile on Events Near Me. Vendors and attendees can see it when they look at your events, which tells them you're a real, vetted organizer on the platform.
If someone tries to copy your event or impersonate your business, vendors will know to check for the badge. No badge means they should be cautious.
Why It Matters
The badge does a few things for you. It protects your vendors from falling for a fake version of your event. It helps you build a reputation as an organizer who takes care of the people in their market. And it gives you the confidence to share your vendor application link across social media without worrying about it ending up in the wrong hands.
Trust is hard to build and easy to lose. The verified badge gives vendors a quick, clear signal that you're the real deal.
