We have been encountering a few issues when importing events. Below are a couple of questions:
1- For the importing, I know you mentioned on the docs about avoiding quotation marks and “enter”. I also found out about avoiding bullet points and apostrophes (which I added as html code and worked great!). I am about to send instructions to our client on how to fill it out the spreadsheet, just wondering if you guys know about any other “bad” characters or any other tips regarding filling out the file correctly?
2- The vector maps only works with venue manager correct?
3- If the vector maps only works when venue manager is active, is there any way to import the venue / address to be compatible to vector maps?
for #1, you can also escape single quotes with a slash like this:

for #2, out of the box, yes
for #3, the simple way is modify the vector maps template so it queries venue information from the event detail’s table instead of the venue manager’s table. There are some suggested code changes in this gist:
