Quick Answer

Heritage Web does not support recurring event scheduling. To promote a weekly, monthly, or annual event series, create a separate event listing for each occurrence. This gives each instance its own schedule, ticket information, and messaging.

Overview

Many organizations host regular events—weekly networking sessions, monthly educational workshops, or annual conferences. While we don't have automated recurrence, creating individual listings ensures each event has accurate, up-to-date information for attendees.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Creating Listings for a Recurring Series

  1. Create your first event listing with complete details

  2. After approval, duplicate the effort for subsequent dates:

    • Use consistent naming (e.g., "Monthly Networking - January 2025")

    • Update the schedule for each specific occurrence

    • Adjust ticket information if pricing changes

  3. Submit each event for review

Naming Convention Tips

Keep series recognizable with consistent naming:

  • "Iranian Business Network - January 2025"

  • "Iranian Business Network - February 2025"

  • "Legal CLE Breakfast - Q1 2025"

  • "Annual Charity Gala 2025"

Linking Events Together

In each event's description, mention the series and consider noting:

  • That this is part of an ongoing series

  • How to find other events in the series

  • Where to get updates about future dates

Important Notes

  • Each event listing goes through standard review

  • Past events automatically archive after their end date

  • This approach ensures accurate information for each specific date

  • You control each occurrence independently (different speakers, pricing, etc.)

FAQs

Can I copy an existing event to save time? Currently, you'll need to enter details for each event. Keep a template document with your standard description, categories, and other repeated information to speed up the process.

What if my weekly event has the same details every time? Create listings as needed—you might create a month's worth at once. Use identical descriptions but update the schedule for each date.
