What qualifies as a "edvent"?
An edvent is any event with an educational component to it that takes place entirely on one day (or two consecutive days) and is open to the general public.
Edvent topics can be almost anything, from business to personal enrichment to finances to sports.
We reserve the right to accept or reject any edvent submission for any reason.
What about non-profit and charitable edvents?
If your organization is non-profit, we welcome your edvent submissions! Our fees are held extremely low so that we can provide you with our valuable service for free or at an affordable rate.
How do people find edvents.com?
The whole purpose for our existence is to connect people with local educational opportunities. So making people aware of the resource is our most important task.
Here are the efforts we have made or are making to drive people to OneStopSeminars.com:
1) Highly optimized website design. Each page and each event listing is indexable by all of the major search engines.
2) Online marketing and advertising. We are listed in many online directories, and advertise through search engines to be found more easily.
3) Partnerships. We partner with non-profit organizations and donate our efforts to help them spread the word about their events, and they let their patrons know about our resource.
4) Promotions. From time to time we have membership drives to encourage users of the site to tell their friends. These are usually creative ideas and vary considerably.

6) Social Media. We take advantage of the latest in social media trends to make our website friendly to sites such as Twitter and Facebook. Our edvents can all be shared easily via these outlets, and we keep followers up to date on the latest happenings.
I've already got a website - why do I need edvents.com?
For a student to find an edvent on your existing website, he must (A) first know who you are, (B) know your website address, and (C) know that you offer edvents.
On the other hand, edvents.com is the largest public database of educational events in the northern suburbs of Chicago. It is the single source for local educational event information.
What are the benefits of listing my edvents on edvents.com?
Increased edvent attendance
With your edvents available in more places, they (and you) will have greater exposure and more edvent students.
Increased edvent profits
If you charge a fee for your edvents, you’ve already got a revenue base – each additional student you add could be pure profit.
Increased customer base
Most organizations only market edvents to existing customers; with our site, your edvents will be found based on their categories and descriptions, bringing you new customers.
Increased advertising ROI
Edvents.com is the easiest, least costly, and most effective method to advertise edvents that exists today, because it was built and customized specifically for edvents.
Increased company exposure
Almost everyone uses the Internet to find information these days. By making your edvent information available online, you’ll be right where the action is.
Higher search engine rankings for your website
Search engines rank a website based on links to that site from other reputable sites. Each edvent you list on our site will have at least one link back to your site.
How does the cost compare?
Advertising is expensive. Traditional advertising in newspapers, on television or on radio costs thousands, or sometimes tens of thousands of dollars a month. Outdoor advertising is often just as expensive, with billboard rates running two to four thousand dollars a month, not including design and manufacture. Direct mail is on the cheaper side, but it will still cost a thousand dollars to print and direct mail five hundred letters. Even online banner or pop up ad advertising costs hundreds of dollars a month.
In addition to the cost, the effectiveness must be considered. Billboards offer very little space for information and are ignored by most of the audience. Direct mail might as well be called trash mail. Online banner ads have a less than 0.2% chance of being clicked on.
Advertising on edvents.com costs less AND is more effective than other advertising. Instead of being an obnoxious advertisement, edvents.com is a destination website giving people FREE access to information that people want. And the cost speaks for itself.
