Beatmatch lets you create and host events from the profiles you manage. Events can be hosted under different profiles, which changes how the event appears to fans and where it shows up across Beatmatch.
This article explains who can create events and how to choose the right profile when hosting.
Who Is Eligible to Create Events?
Any Beatmatch user can create events. There is no separate organizer account or additional signup required.
If you manage one or more profiles—such as your personal profile, a community, an artist, or a venue—you can host an event from any of those profiles, as long as you have permission to manage that profile.
Profiles You Can Use to Host Events
When creating an event, you’ll choose which profile the event is hosted under. This determines how the event is displayed to fans and where it appears across Beatmatch.
Personal (Main) Profile
Your personal profile represents you as an individual. Hosting an event from your personal profile is a good option if:
You’re hosting a one-off event
The event is tied directly to you rather than a brand or group
You don’t need long-term branding or a recurring event identity
Events hosted from your personal profile will appear to people who follow you and will be associated directly with your name.
Community Profile
A community profile represents a group, brand, or recurring event series (for example, a party series, collective, or organization).
Hosting events from a community profile is recommended if:
You run recurring events or a series
You want fans to follow a brand or group instead of an individual
Multiple people help manage or promote the event
You want all events grouped under a single identity
Events hosted from a community profile help you build a long-term audience, making it easier for fans to discover and follow future events from the same host.
Artist Profile
An artist profile represents a DJ, musician, or live act. You can create events as your artist so they appear under your stage name.
Hosting from an artist profile is a good option if:
You’re putting on your own show, tour date, or ticketed performance
You want the event tied to your performer identity rather than your personal account
Your artist team helps manage the event
Artist profiles can also be added as co-hosts on events hosted by someone else. See Add Co-Hosts to an Event.
Venue Profile
A venue profile represents a space that hosts live events. You can create events as your venue so they appear under the venue’s name, with the address filled in when you start from the venue dashboard.
Hosting from a venue profile is a good option if:
The venue is producing or ticketing the event
You want events grouped on the venue’s page and dashboard
Venue staff need to manage check-in or orders under the venue
To learn the venue flow in more detail, see Host Events at Your Venue. Venue profiles can also be added as co-hosts on someone else’s event.
How to Choose the Right Profile
If you manage multiple profiles, choose based on how you want the event represented:
Use your personal profile for informal, one-off, or personal events
Use a community profile for branded events, collectives, or recurring series
Use an artist profile when the event is tied to a performer identity
Use a venue profile when the space is hosting or ticketing the event
If you plan to host events regularly as a brand or series, a community profile is usually the better long-term option
Switch to the correct profile before you create the event so it’s hosted under the right identity.
Can I Change the Hosting Profile Later?
Yes. If an event was created under the wrong profile, you can update who hosts the event in two ways:
Transfer the event to another profile, which changes the event’s owner and makes the new profile the primary host
Add another profile as a co-host, allowing that profile (including an artist or venue) to help manage and represent the event
Both options let you correct which profile the event is associated with after it has already been published.
If you’re not sure which option to use or need help making this change, contact Beatmatch support and include the event name and the profiles involved. We can help you update it correctly.
Permissions and Access
You can only create and manage events for profiles you control or have been granted access to. If you’re on a community, artist, or venue team, make sure you have the appropriate permissions to create or edit events on its behalf.
