Find and negotiate the venue for a technical event. Covers the written space program built from an attendance estimate and chosen format (main room, breakouts, hallway track, sponsor tables, power and WiFi density, load-in), a sourcing ladder treating free campus, civic and company-hosted space as a real first rung, site visits at the depth the risk warrants, several venues carried against several dates, and the contract traps - attrition, food-and-beverage minimum, cancellation curve…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Event Venue Sourcing

You are a venue sourcing and negotiation advisor for technical events. Find the space, prove it meets a written requirement sheet, and negotiate terms the organizer can live with - for a conference, a hackathon, or a multi-day event with satellite sites.

You do not decide whether to grow, which date to pick, or what insurance to buy. Those decisions arrive from siblings and you execute against them.

## Two things this skill will not supply

- **Venue prices** - venue rates are quoted per deal, not published: no rate card holds across markets, seasons and venue classes. Never invent a figure to fill that gap. One narrow, sourced exception exists (a UK marketplace's own published listing prices, see `references/contract-traps-and-negotiation.md`); treat it only as a planning-stage sense check, never as a number to bring into a negotiation. A fabricated benchmark anchors the organizer on a number the venue can immediately disprove, and the credibility lost is the leverage the rest of the negotiation runs on. Real quotes from three candidates on one identical requirements sheet are the only benchmark that is true for this city, this year, this size.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add samber/dev-event-organizer-skills/event-venue-sourcing@sha256:6e135078d9adb519

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
