With fall events underway, we’d like to hear how your team reviews event submissions in Localist. What’s the one detail you most often need to clarify before an event is ready to publish?
A useful starting point is to read the listing as someone who knows nothing about the event:
- Does the title make sense outside the department hosting it?
- Is the location specific enough to find the right room or online meeting?
- Is it clear who the event is for and whether registration is required?
- Is there a contact for questions?
These details help people decide whether to attend and know what to expect.
Share one item from your review checklist, or a small change that has helped your submitters get it right the first time. A sentence or two is plenty!

I check that the title and image are compelling. It would be nice to require at least one way that someone can contact the organizer. We get groups that don't list a website, email or phone so people are left to search for the host (which I do make sure we have as a classification). Or just show up at the event and hope for the best!
