Partner venues
The places where Agora comes to life.
Agora partner venues host reading groups and are automatically selected as meetup locations for matched users. The more a venue invests in the partnership, the more foot traffic they receive.
How it works
More investment. More people through your door.
How Agora selects meetup venues
When two Agora users match, our system automatically selects a local venue and proposes a meetup time — no planning required. The venue selected is always the highest-tier partner in the area. This means that Flagship venues are virtually always chosen first, Premier venues second, and so on.
Every successful match in Madison is a potential new customer walking into a partner venue. Venues that invest more in the partnership receive more of that foot traffic — directly and predictably.
Predictable foot traffic
Every matched pair of readers in Madison gets routed to your venue. You do not need to run ads or promotions — Agora sends people to you automatically.
Priority by tier
Flagship and Premier venues are selected for meetups first. The higher your tier, the more frequently your venue is the one readers show up to.
No effort required
Agora handles all the matching, scheduling, and communication. You just need to be open and welcoming — Agora does the rest.
