How to Submit an Event Countless events & happenings are going on around us every day. We may know it and we may not know it, sometimes not until when the event is over and someone shared on their social network timeline that they were at this party or that conference or went for that exhibition that you like. How you’d hope you have joined in too, right?

The focus of this lesson is to show you how to easily submit an event on Eventnac.com.

We try to include as many screenshots and images as possible to guide you in a very interactive manner.

By the end of this lesson, you’ll know how to:

Maintain basic information on the event page – i.e. Title, Date, Time, and Description etc.

Assign the location of an event on the Google Map. Do simple text formatting – i.e. bold, italic or underline etc. Assign a hyperlink to any text to create a clickable link. Assign a link for your social network (i.e. Twitter or Facebook) to the event page. Assign a video to the event page. Upload images to the event page. Select a package for publishing the event. Apply a promotional coupon code (if you have one). Review your event. Publish an event.

Note: Fields that are flagged by the * sign are mandatory to be filled (about 9 fields) prior to submitting an event.
