Remember! The more detailed you are, the easier it will be for your audience to find it.

  • Event Title: Define how your event will appear to your audience in RiseKit. Include the name of the organization hosting the event and name of the event itself to ensure its easy to find.

    Example: ACME Corporation: Resume Review Session.

  • Background Friendly: Let your audience know if people with backgrounds can attend.

  • Starting Date/Ending Date: Define a start and end date for the event. If it's a one day event, these dates can be the same.

  • Description: This is meat of your event listing. Include key details to provide your audience about what the event will entail, what they will get out of the experience, and steps they can take to attend.

    Example: This resume writing workshop will help participants learn how to structure a professional resume and how to differentiate themselves among other candidates. For more information, please visit our website: www.xyzcommunity.org or call 555-555-5555.

  • Eligibility: Define age requirements for attending the event and whether the event relates to people with disabilities, that have a military status, or belong to specific gender.

  • Related Industries: Define specific industries that fall in the scope of your event. This comes in handy for any job fairs or training events. Feel free to select all that apply.

  • Covid-19 Precautions: Define whether your event requires those that attend to adhere to rules that protect those with higher risk of severe illness.

6. Click Review Details.
