# How do programme and availability work?
Manage nights in Events. Bookings hold negotiation. Busy signals are advisory in discovery.

## Events (venues)

Open [Events](/marketplace/events) for your venue programme — nights with or without Gigiii talent.

- Create a night first; attach talent later with **Find talent**.
- Booking-linked nights open the booking for commercial details after confirm.
- [Embed settings](/marketplace/events/embed) configure the public calendar widget and ICS output.

## Bookings

Open [Bookings](/marketplace/bookings) for requests, proposals, and agreement downloads. That is the commercial inbox — not a second programme list.

## Busy signals

Confirmed bookings block **overlapping confirmations** for the affected resources. Discovery date filters are advisory: you may still start a conversation and negotiate another time.

Vacation-style manual blocking and external calendar sync are deferred.
