This guide is for event promoters — anyone using an Evvnt-powered calendar to get the word out about their events. Whether you're posting a community fundraiser, a concert, a recurring class, or a one-time conference, the Evvnt event form and promotion tools are how your event gets listed on a publication's calendar and, optionally, syndicated across a wider network of event sites.

This article covers the main things you can do as a promoter and links to detailed guides for each area.

What You'll Accomplish

• Submit events to a publication's calendar for free
• Add useful details — images, links, venue info, ticket pricing — that help readers find and attend your event
• Manage your events after posting: edit, clone, cancel, or set up recurring dates
• Optionally upgrade your event for wider syndication across dozens of local and national event calendars
• Optionally promote your event directly to local audiences via a premium email campaign

Good to Know Before You Start

• Free events go to one calendar. A free event submission is posted to the specific calendar where you submitted it. If you'd like your event to appear on additional calendars in your area, a premium upgrade will place it across all local Evvnt-powered calendars in our network — you can see the full list of available calendars at checkout. You can always post for free to any single site.
• One submission per event. Free events can only be submitted to one calendar at a time. If an event with the same title, date, and time already exists on another Evvnt-powered calendar, it may be flagged as a duplicate.

Creating and Submitting an Event

The event form walks you through everything needed to get your event listed: a title, date and time, venue or online location, categories, images, and more. Some fields are required, others are optional but help your event stand out in search results and on the calendar page. You can save a draft and come back to finish later.

For a full walkthrough of each field and how to use it, see Creating and Submitting an Event.

Managing Your Events

After your event is submitted, your event dashboard is where you go to make changes. Events can be edited, cloned to create a similar event quickly, or canceled if plans change. Recurring events and events with multiple dates have their own setup during submission, and can be adjusted afterward from the dashboard as well. Any drafts you saved before completing a submission are also accessible here.

For details on each of these actions, see Managing Your Events.

Upgrading to Premium Event Syndication

Premium syndication places your event on all local Evvnt-powered calendars in your area and submits it to additional national event sites to boost your event's visibility in search results. Your event's category — such as Community, Lifestyle, or Entertainment — determines which tier your promotion falls into. Each tier is tailored to reach the audience most relevant to that type of event, so choosing the right category is about matching your event to the right audience. The pricing tier name is shown alongside each category during event creation.

After upgrading, your event report shows the status of your event across all the calendars and sites it's been submitted to, so you can see exactly where your event is listed and track its reach.

For full details on what premium includes, how categories connect to syndication tiers, and how to read your event report, see Upgrading to Premium Event Syndication.

Premium Email

Premium Email is a separate promotional option that sends your event directly to a targeted local audience via email. This is independent from calendar syndication — you can use one, the other, or both depending on how widely you want to promote.

For details on how premium email works, see Premium Email.

Adding Ticket Information to Your Event

If your event has an admission cost or requires tickets, the event form includes fields for sharing that information with calendar readers. This is for displaying ticket details on your event listing — such as a price, a link to your ticketing page, or the type of tickets available. It does not create a ticket-selling storefront; it simply lets people know what to expect and where to purchase.

If you need to sell tickets directly, Evvnt also offers a separate ticket-selling option that creates a dedicated ticketing page for your event.

For guidance on filling in the ticket information fields, see Adding Ticket Information to Your Event.

Account and Login

Evvnt is in the process of consolidating login pages across its products. Depending on when you created your account, you may have credentials from an older login page or from the newer unified login. If you're having trouble signing in, a password recovery will reset your access and show you all available profile options tied to your email address.

For help with login issues and account access, see Account and Login.

A Note About Print Calendars

Some publications produce a printed version of their event calendar. Print inclusion is managed entirely by the publication and its editors — it is not something controlled through the Evvnt event form or promotion tools. If you have questions about whether your event will appear in print, reach out to the publication directly.

Tip: Editors typically receive a notification when an event on their calendar is upgraded to premium. A premium upgrade can be a good way to signal to the publication that you're an active event promoter with an advertising budget, which may help your chances of print consideration.

Common Questions

• Where is my event? — If your event was submitted for free, it goes to the specific calendar where you posted it and may take a short time to appear. If you upgraded to premium, your event report shows the status across all sites.
• Can I post to a different publication's calendar? — Your free account is tied to one calendar. When you submit an event for free, it goes to that calendar as long as it accepts your event's location. To submit a free event to a different calendar, go to that calendar's website and use their Create Event button to start your submission. This tells the system you want your event posted on that specific calendar When you upgrade to a premium event, it is automatically placed on all local Evvnt-powered calendars in your area — no extra submissions needed.
• Can I post my event more than once? Posting the same event manually to multiple calendars may trigger a duplicate flag. Premium syndication automatically places your event on all local Evvnt-powered calendars.
• Can I post my event for free? — Yes. During the final step of submission, you may see a paid promotion option, but a free option is available on that page as well.
