As any organizer will tell you, some events take a higher priority over others. For example, an annual gala fundraiser might be a more important event for your community than a weekly membership meeting. Now, organizers have the option to give special prominence to an event by adding it to the top-most position on their group\u2019s page. Use the featured events option to highlight one of your group\u2019s gatherings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

When you go to your group page and select the settings for one of your events, you\u2019ll now see a \u201cFeature event\u201d option. By selecting this option, your event will be listed at the top of the page. This option will be available to organizers, co-organizers, and assistant organizers of a Meetup group<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use this feature to highlight an event that you want to promote. Perhaps you organize a running group and want to pin a marathon race to the top of your page so that it\u2019s listed above training runs. Maybe you organize a group for jazz musicians and want a specific performance to be more prominent than casual jam sessions. The primary event position is now under your control with the featured events option. Try it today!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
