EVENT ORGANISERS

There are thousands of events taking place around the world each year. Organising and promoting an event is incredibly challenging; it takes a lot of time and effort to make sure possible attendees are presented with correct and up-to-date information. With hundreds of websites and services promoting important events, updates must be communicated efficiently and effectively. LGBTQIA+ friendly and tailored events for the community are important. Many people, organisations and media outlets want to promote events like yours.

Wecare.LGBT is a free service in which event organisers can create and manage their own listings. Providing all of the main information relating to their event, including pictures and links. Their listing and other LGBTQIA+ events are compiled and made available as a free download for anyone, including service and event listing services.

What is an Opensource project?

An open-source project is a type of licence that gives everyone, those directly involved and those accessing the project, permission to use, review, modify and share the project’s related information (often code or data), which is also provided free of any charge. Opensource promotes collaborative working, where large groups work together to keep the information updated and expand the project’s data or code. The opensource licence will typically outline the project’s terms and conditions, from acceptable use and all available data and code types. There are many different types of open-source licenses; however, both individuals and companies will typically use the project’s data or code. Providing the data free of charge makes the information widely available. It also improves the accuracy and completeness of community-related data or code. Companies, blogs, news outlets and services are not only able to quickly and easily access the data; however, it also enhances and makes important information widely available to their customers and readers

VERIFICATION PROCESS

The email address can include your domain name or if the email address is displayed on your website. An example for an email account using a domain name would be domain: xyv.com, email: @xyz.com. If the email address is different to your domain name, it would need to be featured or present within your website, such as on the contact us page or at the footer of the website
