Submitting an event
- How long does it take for an event to appear?
- Free listings are reviewed and published within two to three business days. Featured listings are reviewed within one business day, and featured placement begins as soon as the listing is approved.
- What kinds of events are accepted?
- Conferences, summits, workshops, webinars and networking events whose subject is sustainability, social purpose, impact finance, or diversity, equity and inclusion. Events are accepted whether they are in-person, virtual or hybrid, and whether they are free or paid.
- What is not accepted?
- General industry conferences with only a sustainability track, product launches, sales webinars, recruitment events, and anything whose primary purpose is to sell a service rather than convene a field. Submissions that do not fit are rejected with a reason.
- Do I need an account to submit an event?
- No. Submission is a single form with no sign-up. You provide a contact email so an editor can reach you if a detail needs confirming.
- What does the premium listing include?
- A premium listing costs CAD 149 and adds the featured panel beside the homepage headline, the featured row at the top of Browse Events, and a featured badge on the listing card, from approval until your event takes place. Everything in the free listing is included.
- Can I edit an event after it is published?
- Yes. Email the editors through the contact page with the change and the listing URL, and they will update it. Listings are also periodically re-checked against the organizer's own page so details stay current.
