Registering events for the program
This year, we are integrating the Espoo Day event calendar with Visit Espoo’s event calendar. Therefore, event submissions will be made through the Visit Espoo website, and the entire Espoo Day program can be found there. Below you will find instructions on how to submit your content to Espoo Day.
Instructions for event registration
- Log in to the service and create an organizer profile in Visit Espoo’s event calendar if you don’t already have one. Instructions can be found here.
- You can start creating your event after creating the organizer profile. Detailed instructions created by Visit Espoo can be found here.
- When you submit your event to the Visit Espoo event calendar, you can choose various current topics, themes, and tags. These help event visitors find pages that compile events for a specific time period or theme.
- For Espoo Day events under the ‘Current events’ menu, select Espoo Day 2024.
- You can choose a theme for the event that best describes it. For example, a nature excursion would fit the nature & well-being theme.
- We will make highlights for the Espoo Day theme page and use tags for that purpose. We will add the tags when we approve the submission.
- The Visit Espoo website is in both Finnish and English, and we recommend making the event submission in these two languages. We also recommend adding a Swedish translation for the event.
- You can also edit your own events afterwards, and it’s advisable to keep the text, images, and details up to date.
- Please note that all events on Saturday, August 31, must be free. Paid programs can be held on Friday, August 30.
Note! If you do not wish to submit your event to the Espoo Day event calendar yourself, please email us at espoo.paiva@espoo.fi. In the email, provide the event details (event name, date, location) and include a description and a picture.
To celebrate the city-wide festivity, you can organize a campaign based on your own content, such as a discount on products or services. Espoo Day campaigns can be valid for the entire Espoo Day week, from Monday, August 26th to Saturday, August 31st.
If you organize an event as a company, you can register it in Visit Espoo’s event calendar like other events. Therefore, all event-related content is included in the two-day event calendar for Espoo Day. Please note that all Saturday’s events must be free of charge.
- Submit your campaign to Espoo Day through this form. Choose a photo that describes the campaign and make the text appealing.
- We will compile a separate program tray for Espoo Day campaigns in July. This tray will gather all the Espoo Day campaigns.
- It is advisable to advertise your campaign on your own social media channels.
- We will provide marketing materials to all Espoo Day participants, such as an Espoo Day sticker and a poster template, which should be displayed in a prominent place to communicate both the campaign and participation in Espoo Day.
