Give people the essential details
Every event page should clearly show the event name, date, start time, venue, city, ticket information, organiser, and a short explanation of what attendees can expect.
Use one strong event image
Choose an image that matches the atmosphere of the event and remains readable on a phone. Keep important text away from the edges and avoid filling the image with too many small details.
Promote in stages
Announce the event early, share reminders as the date approaches, and publish a final practical reminder with the time, address, and ticket link.
- Publish the complete event listing.
- Share it with relevant community groups.
- Ask partners and participants to repost it.
- Remind people one week and one day before the event.
