I. The Outlands Calendar

The Kingdom Calendar is where people can find events from around the kingdom. It includes events ranging from single day events that might have a few dozen people to our largest annual events which have more than 700 participants.

Anyone can host an event! You can work with your local group to come up with an idea, propose and have it accepted, and then invite people from your neighborhood or from the ends of the Known World.

The first step in promoting your event on the Official Outlands Kingdom Calendar is to review the current calendar to be sure you are not scheduling against any events near you that may draw some of your audience away.

III. Promoting Your Event

The most important part of event planning is event promotion.  The Outlands wants to help support attendance at local events throughout the kingdom, so we have created multiple ways to get the word out about your event; the Kingdom Calendar, the Outlandish Herald newsletter, and social media listings.  

The Kingdom Calendar is the official and central calendar of events for Outlands Kingdom events as well as other local events going on around the kingdom.

The Outlandish Herald is the official newsletter for the kingdom and has been the primary source of published info about events going on anywhere in the Outlands.

The Social Media office helps promote events across the many social media outlets where people look for information.

List Your Event in the Newsletter and on Social Media:

In order to do “Official Business” at an Event, it must be published in the Outlandish Herald Newsletter.  Official business includes activities such as Peer Circles, Royal Court, etc. 

The Outlandish Herald also offers the opportunity to promote your event with details and promotional ad copy.

Many people use social media to plan their calendar, so we provide kingdom-monitored event listings on official Facebook channels.

To Add a Web Page for Your Event:

All events need a web page where people can find the basic information about the event. There are two options for where your web page can exist.

1. Your local group can host the event web page on the group site. This is often the most convenient option for local events. Contact your local web minister to get this page created.
2. The event can exist solely on the kingdom calendar. You can add all of the information someone might need for the event, as well as promotional images. Reach out to the kingdom calendar deputy for this option.
