UV CONNECT helps intentional difference makers connect, collaborate, and create. If that’s what you’re looking for, you’re in the right place!
A few guidelines for listings:
Listings are intended to provide publicity for events and opportunities across a range of settings (business enhancement, networking, education, self-improvement, service, culture development, civic awareness, social responsibility, etc.). This is not the place to publicize overt commercial interests (e.g., sales events, “opportunity” meetings, etc.).
EDITORIAL LICENSE: The provider of this service, Bryan Waldon Pope, retains — without apology or argument — complete editorial decision-making rights for UV CONNECT. This means any listing may be approved or denied based on any criteria (intent, appropriateness, relevance, content, whether you are a kind soul, etc.) at Bryan’s sole discretion. As a private service provided by a private entity, Bryan reserves the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason.
TIME FRAMES: Listings may be submitted no more than 60 days prior to the event date. We recommend getting them listed at least 30 days prior to the event date for best results.
The deadline for event listing submissions is each Friday by 5:00 p.m. Mountain for inclusion in the following Tuesday’s email.
EVENT LOCATION: Live events must be held in Utah Valley (and neighboring communities, upon approval) to qualify for listing. Virtual events hosted by Utah Valley-based entities may also be listed.
ORDER OF LISTINGS: Listings are presented in chronological order based on the date of the event. Each accepted submission will be added to the current events and will remain active on the site and in each Tuesday email distribution until the event date has passed.
LINK TITLE: Each listing consists of the event title or a brief (75 characters max) description, which you will provide on the submission form. Make it descriptive and enticing! This is the headline that will get your audience to click/tap through to your event page.
INFO/REGISTRATION PAGE: The event title or description becomes a link to your event/landing page. This means you must have an active information/registration page to send people to before submitting your listing.
FREE EVENTS: If your event is free, simply submitting the required information through the form link below is all you need to do. Your event will be added to the current events page and included in each Tuesday’s email until your event is over.
PAID EVENTS: If your listing is for a paid event, you will receive an invoice for $50 ($25 for non-profits). Your listing will appear after you pay the invoice. Your listing will be included in each week’s issue until the date of your event has passed (as many as nine weekly issues, depending on how far in advance of your event you submit your listing request).
SUBMISSION FORM FIELDS: To see the info required for a listing, feel free to click/tap the “Submit a Listing Request” button below to see the form. It’s not scary. You can see the information fields without being obligated to complete the form.
IMPLIED AGREEMENT: By submitting a listing request, you agree to the above-mentioned terms and conditions. You further agree to hold any and all parties associated with Utah Valley CONNECT harmless for any failure or performance shortfall or any other issue arising from your submitting an event listing request. (In plain English: We (me, the people who submit listings, and other volunteers) are doing what we’re doing as a service to the community. If, for any reason, we fail to meet your expectations or an unforeseen issue arises from your use of our service, we welcome your feedback. Please realize, however, that we can’t be everything to everyone. If you find our service doesn’t match your needs or an unforeseen issue arises from your use of it, we understand that you may not want to continue the relationship. Those things happen occasionally. We simply ask you to be kind about it. Thank you.)
I look forward to listing your events, helping you get the word out about the great things you’re doing to make a positive difference in others’ lives, and (hopefully) seeing you at other connectors’ events around the valley!
Sincerely,
Bryan Waldon Pope
