The Joomla! Community Portal event listing is a great place to share your Joomla and Joomla-Related event. 

User Group meetings, JoomlaDay event, JoomlaCamp event, or a Joomla Roundtable are just a few of the types of events perfect for the community portal. Below are 6 tips to help get your event listed.

#1 - Register on the Community Portal

Before you can submit an event, you must be a registered user of the site. It only take a couple of minutes.

Typically, events are reviewed and published or comments sent back within 2-3 days.

#4 - Add the Event to Your JUG Listing Page

When you Select Your JUG when the event is published it will appear on both the Event Listing Page and your JUG listing page. The list of JUGs is taken from the User Group Directory.  If your JUG is missing or needs updating, please submit a Help Desk ticket and the JUG Team will assist. If not a JUG meeting or event, simply skip the question.

#5 - Enter Your Event’s Hashtag

Your event should be shared, and to help make that happen, in the Social Share Text field, enter a short 130 character description. Fill in your event’s hashtag along with your Twitter and Facebook links. When the Events Team publishes an event, we notify the Social Media Team to help spread the news.
