Think of the “event card” as a mini event flyer for your event. It appears on the Event category pages, where users can browse all the related event cards. They may also appear as other suggested events at the bottom of other event pages, and in the Guides in the Magazine.
Its goal is to provide enough key details to encourage users to click through to your event listing page, which details your event. The details on the event card are based on all the information you provide when you submit your event. We encourage you to take extra time and provide all the information you can.

FAQs
Absolutely! We promise to always offer a free subscription level. We reserve the right to make changes to the plan, but we have no foreseeable plans to do so. In over a decade, we’ve never gone back on that promise.
Sure. You can always upgrade to a higher-level plan or downgrade to a lower-level plan.
We don’t offer refunds. In the case of downgrading, your plan will continue at its current level until the end of your subscription, and then upon renewal, you’ll either be charged the lower subscription fee, or no fee if you’ve downgraded to the Basic level.
Important: In the case of upgrading, your plan will immediately be upgraded, and you’ll be charged the new rate. Because of this, we recommend waiting until your regular renewal.
The main reason for doing otherwise is in the case where you are taking advantage of a lower discounted rate, which will then be locked in for life (see below).
A few days before your current listing term ends, you’ll get an email from us notifying you that your listing renewal is coming up. You don’t need to do anything if you wish to continue at your locked-in subscription rate.
If you wish to cancel it, either to downgrade to a free Basic subscription, or to upgrade/downgrade (see above) to a different paid subscription, go into your Subscriptions in your Lifer dashboard and cancel your subscription.
Nothing! That’s the beauty of our lifetime subscriptions. As long as your subscription doesn’t lapse, you’ll continue to renew at your existing rate, regardless of the rates at that time.
Because you want to grow your audience. We may reach people who have never heard of you, or at least, have never been to your website. Even when they know about you and your events, they often want to see “everything” that is going on. That’s where we come in.
