✨ Grow visibility for local businesses and communities
✨ Attract more visitors and bookings to the region
✨ Position yourself as a trusted local connector

Step-by-Step Checklist
- Search CRM to see if the Event Organiser/Product Owner already exists (to avoid duplicates).

- Share the event listing with the organiser to confirm details.
- Encourage upgrades to Full Listing or Ticketing if appropriate.
- Share the event on WhatsApp or Facebook groups.
What qualifies as an event
For the WDI Events Platform, an event is any activity that:
- Happens on a specific date or over a defined period
- Takes place at a venue in the Waterberg which can be allocated to one of our specified town areas.
- Online events must have a clear Waterberg link i.e. the organiser or event owner is Waterberg based so can be allocated to a specific town area.
- Is open to the public or a defined audience (not private)
- Adds value to tourism, community, culture, sport, or business visibility in the region
- Examples: festivals, markets, workshops, sport events, expos, concerts, charity events, school events, special celebrations.
- Not events: regular business opening hours, ongoing specials, permanent attractions, private functions or online events with no clear Waterberg connection.
Quick Access: Forms You Can Share or Submit

Use the Forms below to submit a Free or Full Listing yourself:
If a Product Owner/Events Organiser wants to submit a listing themselves, they first need to register as a Product Owner with this form. This is a once off registration – they don’t need to register each time they want to submit an event. They can then use the Free or Full Event Listing forms to submit events.
