ABOUT EVENT
When you register, you’ll be asked to provide a full description (up to 2000 characters) and a short description or event summary/excerpt (up to 300 characters).
In the summary, tell us what will happen at the event and what is interesting about it.
Include the most interesting and most important information in the summary as this becomes the first paragraph on your event’s web listing. It is read first and needs to engage people quickly.
Note that only the event summary and date/time/location/cost details are included in search results or on the National Science Week app listing, without the full description.
Give us information, not opinion or rhetoric
Don’t be tempted by a wide range of topics and activities to over-generalise. You still need to provide punters with enough information to tempt them.
For example, ‘an exciting celebration of all things science’ doesn’t really say much. An alternative might be ‘working scientists talk about the science that has inspired them, such as the discovery of the Wollemi pine, Australia’s role in astronomy and the invention of needleless vaccinations’. An astronomy enthusiast might pass over the first version but look into the second.
