Tips
- The more information you provide, the better your listing will be. Think about reading your event listing from the perspective of a visitor who wants to know all there is to know about your event.
- Use proper punctuation and complete sentences.
- Do not use all caps (ex. OUR EVENT IS FREE).
- Include a URL to direct people to your website for more information and event updates.
- Choose your venue from the dropdown menu, and don’t forget to fill out the street address, complete with city, state, and ZIP code, so our mapping feature can show visitors where your event is located.
- If you use the autofill feature, review your entries before submitting to ensure you’ve completed the form with the correct information — sometimes home addresses are autofilled rather than work addresses!
