8 Event Listing Websites that will get you listed on Google and increase your reach to conference-goers
Multiplatform publishing companies can make live
events a profitable and fun revenue stream. Passionate people will be
committed to a topic and want to get to the source: the author, the guru or the
expert who knows the subject. They desire an interactive
presentation. They want to be able ask questions, read body language, and
see facial expressions. Major publishers excel at this, getting big-name
presenters and keynote speakers to draw in crowds. You can list your event
on websites that help you spread the word.
This revenue platform was completely destroyed by
the events of 2021, which resulted in many publishers losing money during those
first months. Virtual events have proven to be a success for almost every
publisher that we spoke with. Virtual events offer the opportunity to
travel to new places and network with people face-to-face, but they are also
very accessible. They're also extremely affordable for the publisher.
A number of the biggest publishing events in the
year were successfully turned into virtual
events.
- Forbes hosts the CMO Summit (and many other events) which they
transformed into the CMO Summit Virtual Series.
- HOW hosts the How Design Conference. They have transformed it into
a virtual experience, including a virtual exhibit area - an important
feature of previous years.
- Farm Progress hosts The Farm Progress Show, which has become a
virtual experience.
These are great examples with thousands of people
attending. Our niche publishers are also seeing positive results. Harvard's
Program on Negotiation went from on-campus, in-person negotiation seminars to
entirely virtual and has sold out all their events in advance.
Promote Your Virtual or
In-Person Events With Event
Listing Websites
You can list your seminar or conference
online via event listing websites, regardless of whether you use Zoom, ON24 or
any other virtual event solution. Although most attendees will be referred
by email, it is important to list your seminar online through event listing
sites. This makes it easy to reach new audiences and saves time.
B2B Event Listing Websites
For events that are targeted at professionals, you
might consider some of these event listing websites.
Eventalways can be used as both a ticketing and
listing website. You can register users and make money using the system to
purchase tickets. They don't charge anything if the event is free. If
you are attending an event in person, the app allows you to check-in at the
door. Your event will be automatically added to the directory once it's
been entered. Eventalways is a hugely popular platform for tech events,
but it also covers investing and health.
10Times
10Times, a global platform to list events, is
extremely popular in major cities such as New York. It features events from
companies such as O'Reilly, IBM and Princeton. Numerous magazines and
professional organizations host events. This event listing website also
has a section for online events. People can browse thousands of listings
online. It is also easy to use, which makes it easier for people find your
event. You can pay more for your placement, though the price is not
charged.
AllTech Conferences
If you are in the tech publishing industry, AllTech
Conferences can help you list your event free of charge. It's easy to see
the sheer number of virtual tech events by simply scrolling through the
site. Imagine that visitors no longer have to decide if they are willing
to travel to Germany or China in order to attend a particular event. Instead,
they can choose the event they wish to attend from the content. Gary's
Guide, another excellent resource for this niche, is available in NYC.
Colloq
Colloq is different from the other listing sites,
but it's a great way to do so. It's not US-based so it may be more
suitable for international events. However, you can still list your event and
search for free on Colloq like the other listing sites. Users can engage
with events and then follow up. You can upload slides and publish your
live stream.
LinkedIn Events
LinkedIn has been experimenting with the events
feature but it appears that it is now a permanent feature. LinkedIn
allows you to list your event and promote it via their ad system. This can help
you get the visibility that you want.
B2C Event Listing Websites
These sites are better suited for those who cater
to a wider audience. Meetup.com is another event site. However, we did not
find it to be a good fit for professionals so it was left out of our review.
Facebook Events
B2C marketing is so reliant on Facebook's events
platform, it would be easy to stop there. Facebook has a place for any
consumer-facing event. It is simple to promote events using Facebook's
cheap advertising platform. Users can also reply to an event by telling
their friends that they will be attending it. This is a simple way to get
involved in any event, B2B or B2C.
Eventful
Entercom owns Eventful, which is very popular for
community and educational events, as well as music. This site also has an
email newsletter which reminds users about upcoming events in their local
area. Eventful is more consumer-oriented and can be used to promote your
booth at large events, charity events, or free promotional
events. However, they also offer a section for professional
events. It seems to be underutilized. It offers more features (photos and
social media links), It is more popular than most competitors.
Another piece of advice is to find local people who
are interested in your niche. Joselin Mane hosts BostonTweetup in Boston.
He curates a list of tweetups throughout the Boston area. You can add
events and he will send out updates and shout-outs to his over 19K followers. When
live events resume, it's worth looking for people like these in your local
area.
This platform allows you to submit an event to over
a thousand event listing websites
There may be opportunities for you to list your
events on local newspapers' websites. Listing events online is accepted by
many community and business newspapers.
