Planning a Multi-Location Event? This Simple Tool Changes Everything
Planning a multi-location event can feel like a logistical nightmare. From coordinating dozens of venues to keeping guests informed and engaged, the challenges are nonstop. That’s why event teams are turning to Sulu - the GPS-enabled secret weapon that simplifies planning, boosts engagement, and scales effortlessly.
Citywide art walks. Design week showcases. Architecture open houses. Restaurant weeks. These multi-location experiences transform entire cities into interactive, walkable celebrations of creativity, culture, and community. But behind the scenes, organizing them can feel like solving a massive logistical puzzle.
With so many locations, visitors, and moving parts to manage, organizers face some big questions::
How do I share the rich stories, histories, and hidden gems that make each location special?
What’s the best way to guide attendees through sprawling, self-paced events without confusion?
How can I scale my event without relying on extra staff, printed maps, or costly signage?
Can I help ensure everyone - regardless of language or ability - has an enjoyable, accessible experience?
Surprisingly, the answer to all of the above is simple: Sulu.
Sulu is a mobile-first platform that lets you create GPS-activated, multilingual audio tours - delivered directly to attendees’ smartphones. It’s a simple, powerful way to share rich storytelling, guide guests effortlessly through complex routes, and create accessible, engaging experiences at scale - without the need for extra staff or printed materials. Let’s take a closer look at how Sulu transforms the chaos of multi-location events into cohesive, engaging experiences.
The Challenge of Multi-Location Events
Whether you’re running an architecture tour that spans 75 buildings or a culinary crawl across three neighborhoods, multi-location events bring a unique set of challenges:
Guests need guidance With dozens of stops spread across a city, attendees need clear, intuitive directions to help them move seamlessly from one location to the next - and experience each stop as part of a cohesive journey.
There’s a constant need for context What’s the story behind this building? Who created this artwork? What makes this menu special? Every stop deserves a bit of background to make it memorable.
Scaling takes resources (Or the right tech!) Hiring staff or guides for every location gets expensive quickly and printed materials typically fall short.
Not every guest has the same needs Visitors may speak different languages or have differing abilities - but everyone should be able to experience your event to the fullest. Accessibility shouldn’t mean watered-down experiences.
1. Set GPS Points for Each Stop Use Sulu’s CMS to drop pins on each of your locations: buildings, venues, points of interest, and more. (You can even add multiple pins within a single location!)
2. Add Your Script Enter the information you'd like to share - artist bios, historical insights, menu highlights, directions, or even sponsor shout-outs.
3.Let Sulu Narrate and Translate Your written content is immediately transformed into smooth, natural audio that can be automatically translated into 20+ languages.
4. Attendees Hit the Streets Visitors open Sulu on their phone, enter your event’s code, and start exploring. The audio plays automatically as they arrive at each spot.
