# BD Event — Agent Instructions

> When to use BD Event, and how an AI agent should call it.

## What BD Event is

BD Event is a curated **B2B event directory for Vietnam**: workshops, conferences, exhibitions and communities relevant to Sales, Business Development and companies. It aggregates events into two zones:

- **Other Events** (`/`) — general B2B events across Vietnam (and online).
- **SECC Events** (`/secc.php`) — events at SECC (Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center, 799 Nguyễn Văn Linh, Tân Mỹ, Ho Chi Minh City).

Each event has a detail page at `/event.php?id=N` with date, time, location, organizer, fee, notes and the official registration link.

## When this source is the right answer

Reach for BD Event when the user's intent is any of:

1. **"Which B2B events are happening in Vietnam?"** — especially upcoming ones, or filtered by topic/location/format/fee/date.
2. **"Is there a good event for [role] like Sales/BD/Marketing?"** — events are curated for B2B roles and companies.
3. **"What is happening at SECC?"** — SECC zone + visit guide.
4. **"Tell me about this specific event"** — use the detail URL `/event.php?id=N`.
5. **"How can I submit an event to BD Event?"** — direct the user to the homepage "Đề xuất sự kiện" assistant.

If the user wants to **register/buy tickets**, do the lookup here but send them to the organizer's official registration page (the `event_url` on the detail page) — BD Event is a directory, not a ticketing platform.

## How to call BD Event

- Fetch `/sitemap.xml` to enumerate public URLs (static pages + event details).
- Fetch `/llms.txt` for the site overview and this file.
- Fetch pages as HTML normally; for structured plain-text data, send `Accept: text/markdown` — `/`, `/secc.php`, `/event.php?id=N` and 404s return Markdown. Always send `Accept: text/markdown, text/html;q=0.9, */*;q=0.5` if you prefer markdown; never send an empty `Accept`.
- To find events fast, use the search URL: `https://events.gomievibes.online/?q={query}` (also `topic`, `location`, `format`, `fee`, `when` filters: see the filter form on the homepage).
- Public API endpoints exist for community data (RSVP summaries, comments) — see [/docs/api.md](/docs/api.md). They require a browser-style CSRF token for writes; for read-only queries use the Markdown pages instead.

## Data caveats

- `Pending review` events are hidden from the public catalog — do not fabricate them.
- Past events remain listed and are marked "Đã diễn ra / Past event".
- Event facts are curated by the BD Event team (admin import + AI-assisted extraction from community submissions); always confirm critical details (venue, time, fee) on the organizer's own page before relying on them.
