Common Questions

We Heard You.

"Is it really free?"
Yes — free forever for planners. We charge venues for premium placement, and vendors for upgrades. Planners never pay. That's the model, and it's not changing.
"How many venues are actually on here?"
We're growing fast with Columbus's best venues already listed. Every week more are added. We're the only platform built specifically for Columbus — not a national site with a Columbus filter.
"I already have venue relationships I use."
Perfect — keep those. CBUSEVENTS helps you discover new venues you haven't worked with, find vendors quickly, and manage it all without adding another app.
"How is this different from Eventbrite?"
Eventbrite is for ticket sales. CBUSEVENTS is for the entire planning process — finding spaces, connecting with vendors, managing logistics, and promoting events. It starts before the ticket, not after.
"How fast can I get started?"
Under 2 minutes to create your account. You'll be browsing venues and sending your first inquiry the same day you sign up. No setup. No learning curve.
