Adding Events
Announce activities yourself through Mediamatic.net
Welcome to the agenda of Mediamatic.net. Anyone can add events about new media, e-culture and art to the Mediamatic Agenda! These events receive a high ranking in Google search. Additionally these events are automatically exported to other sites as well such as Virtueel Platform for instance.
Familiar with how it works? Click here and add the event right away.
Need help in adding an event? Simply follow the instructions below:
If you want to add an event, please verify the Search function or the Agenda to see if your event already exists.
1. Your event is not there? Login (or register if you’re not a member at Mediamatic.net yet). When you’re logged in, a grey toolbar will appear on top of the page. Your name is located on the left side on top of the page. If you like, you can fill in your profile first (a nice introduction, maybe add a photo or contact information)
2. Click ‘New contribution’, from the grey bar and select ‘+ event’ from the list that appears.
3. Enter a title, possibly a subtitle, a short introduction and use the ‘body’ for further information concerning the activity.
4. Connect your event with the red buttons ‘presented at’ or the button ‘organized by’ to at least one organisation. Click the button and fill in the name. Now the system will check if the organisation is already in the database. If so, connect. If not, click ‘+organisation’ and add a new organisation (with contact information etc.).
5. As soon as the event is connected to the organisation a little date icon appears. Add the date (possibly the start- and finish times) here.
6. We recommend to add at least one picture to the event. Click on the camera icon to add a picture. Click here for more explanation about adding and moving photos (and YouTube videos).
7. Also add ‘actors’, this is the person that performs/exhibits/cooperates. Click the red button ‘actor’ and fill in the name. The system will search if the name is already known. If so, connect. If not, click ‘+actor’ to add a new person. Repeat this step if there are more actors involved.
8. You can now also add tags. The choice of these tags helps the AnyMeta system to select relevant places within the Mediamatic website to display your event.
Click ‘save’ to publish the page. This page will now appear in the Mediamatic Agenda and it will also appear in the context of the organisation and actors you assigned it to. You can edit your page at all times.
