Innovation and entrepreneurship are听mindsets that run deep听in the听minds and spirits of the 桃色视频 community鈥攕tudents, faculty and staff. We know many opportunities need to be shared and communicated, so let us help you听get your content, events and opportunities听in front of our shared 桃色视频 audience!

All communicators on campus are welcome to the Innovation and Entrepreneurship听Communicators Group听to amplify each other's programs, collaborate on opportunities, share our successes and troubleshoot problems. To join the听Microsoft Teams Chat, Email ListServe听辞谤 monthly meetups, please get in touch with daniel.leonard@colorado.edu.

Events Promotion and Planning

听听If your event or program has a registration or application deadline, create a separate event for that deadline so that it appears higher up in calendar feeds in time for users to act on them!

听听With so much happening on campus, we strongly recommend beginning the promotion of your events before the start of the semester they are happening and at least four months before to sync up with the typical cycles of newsletters, social media campaigns听and other promotional opportunities on campus.

Promote through the Initiative calendars

To add your event to the听Initiative听events page, you must add it to the听听via the web app听. Adding your event to the calendar will also push your event to websites, newsletters and digital display feeds across campus, depending on the keywords and tags assigned听to your event.

If you create听an event by logging in to a听Localist admin account,听please include either or both of the听tags听"Innovation" and "Entrepreneurship" in your submission.
If you create an event听听without听logging in to an admin account,听please include the "Innovation & Entrepreneurship"听group听in your submission.

听听Keep an eye on other tags, keywords and campus units (labeled as "Groups" on this calendar) that you can use on your events to strategically target audiences across campus.

听听Explicit copy in listings about who is eligible to participate in events (ex: "this event is only open to physics majors," or "this event welcomes听anyone with a Buff OneCard") can be very useful to prospective audiences.
