How to create a new Event

This page explains how to create new Events. Events are searched on a virtual “bulletin board” of events. This explains how to create a new Event and other details about writing evergreen content.

Add new Event

Use the Add New Event button from the Provider Portal to submit a new Event for review:

Complete the form on the next page with details about your Event. Once done, click Validate Event. If you receive feedback about corrections, please double-check the data you entered is correct. Your new Event awaits approval by an Administrator user (admins: see “How to review and publish new Events”)

How to write strategically

Since dates/times are not collected about events, the more metadata a Provider adds, the better chance an Event is found. The Event Locator is best for recurring events that repeat multiple times in a school year, semester, or term. If the Event happens only once, provide a good description and website for someone to learn more about your program, including when (month, day, year, and time). The website field is also great for external ticketing sites, e.g. Eventbrite.

Worried about getting everything right? No worries, you will always have opportunities to edit your Event later.
