Biznik business networking events can now have co-hosts

Posted in About Biznik, Announcements by Dan McComb on May 11th, 2008

You’ve been asking for this one for a long time, and now you’ve got it: event co-hosts. This new feature gives you the ability for more than one person to host an event, and get credit for it on the event page. Like most everything else on Biznik, using the tool is drop-dead simple: Just look for the Add Host link immediately under the name of the event host field. Clicking that field brings up a text box that you can begin typing the name of the co-host into. Select the person’s name from the list to add them. In pictures:

1. Click “Add Host.”

2. Find co-host by beginning to type first name. Add second name if necessary to limit results to one your want. Click on name to add.

Host is added:

The first host in the list gets to be the one pictured on the main events page and in search results. The person who creates the event is, by default, the one pictured. Change the order in which hosts are entered in order to change who is pictured.
