How do I submit a virtual event?
You can submit an event here, or go to our event calendar here and click on the “Add Event” button in the top right corner of the header. A window should pop up with the submission form. Tip: Make sure your browser is not blocking pop-ups. You will first need to create an account on CitySpark to submit and edit events.
A “Virtual Event” check box has been added to the event submission form—it is currently just below the description box. This should be checked for any event that is virtual, online, streaming, or otherwise allows for remote attendance.
Other tips for your virtual event listing
- Add “Virtual” or “Online” or “Live Stream” to the title of your event.
- If the venue is not relevant to the event, consider using “online” or a similar term for the venue, leaving the street address blank.
- A city location is still required. Provide the city where the event originates.
- The start time should be the start time where the event originates (if you designate Chicago as the location city, enter an Central Time start time).
- Events may be free or paid. You can also state the event is free with donations encouraged.
- Make sure to check the “Virtual Event” checkbox.
