Submitting Events

Share upcoming events with the community by submitting them to the Streamline Feed platform. This guide explains how to fill out the event submission form.

Accessing the Event Submission Form

To submit a new event, you must be logged in. You can typically find a "Submit Event" or "Create Event" button on the main Events page or sometimes in the site header/user menu. This will take you to the event submission form, usually at /events/submit.

Filling Out the Event Form

Provide as much detail as possible to help users understand your event. Key fields include:

  • Event Title: (Required) A clear and engaging title for your event.
  • Description: (Required) A comprehensive description of the event, including what attendees can expect, any prerequisites, and the schedule.
  • Start Date & Time: (Required) The exact date and time the event begins.
  • End Date & Time: (Optional) The date and time the event ends. If it's a single-day event with no specific end time, this might be optional or inferred.
  • Location Name: (Required) The name of the venue or place where the event will be held (e.g., "KICC Ballroom", "Online via Zoom").
  • Address: (Optional) The physical street address of the venue.
  • City: (Optional) The city where the event is located.
  • Event Image URL: (Optional) A direct link to a promotional image or banner for the event.
  • Website URL: (Optional) A link to the official event website or registration page.
  • Organizer Name: (Optional) The name of the individual or organization hosting the event.
  • Contact Email: (Optional) An email address for event inquiries.
  • Contact Phone: (Optional) A phone number for event inquiries.
  • Is this event free?: (Checkbox) Indicate if there is no cost to attend.
  • Price Details: (Optional) If the event is not free, provide details about ticketing, costs, or different price tiers (e.g., "KES 500 Early Bird, KES 800 Gate").

Submitting Your Event

After filling out the form:

  • Click the "Submit Event" (or similar) button.
  • If there are validation errors, they will be highlighted on the form. Please correct them and try again.
  • Upon successful submission, you'll usually see a confirmation message.
  • Your event will then be submitted for review by platform administrators. It will only become publicly visible on the Events page after it has been approved.

You can typically track the status of your submitted events and manage them (e.g., edit or delete pending/approved events) from your profile page under the "My Events" tab.
