Quick Answer
Event listings promote specific events—conferences, festivals, workshops, meetups, and gatherings—across Heritage Web's network of 300+ community publications. Unlike Profile and Organization listings, Events don't participate in lead matching; they're designed for promotion and visibility. Events expire automatically after the event date passes.
Overview
Event listings help you reach community audiences for your upcoming events. Whether you're hosting a legal conference, cultural festival, networking meetup, or educational workshop, an Event listing gets your event in front of the right communities based on languages spoken and community connections.
Anyone with a Heritage Web account can create Event listings—you don't need an existing Profile or Organization listing first.
