Contact Email This can be any one email address. There is a Contact Us link on the event submission form and all inquiries from that form will be sent to this address.
Pending Digest Email This can be any number of emails. Every day at 4 PM a pending digest that includes a list of events in the pending queue will be sent to the specified emails. The digest does not take into account any filter restrictions on a user’s account, but when they navigate to the pending queue they will only see events that correspond to their restrictions.
