PARnet also offers the convenience of automated email reminders and timely announcements posted to a select group of relevant discussion lists. Submit your event once, and at specified times appropriate announcements will be broadcast across the Internet. For example, you could set your listing to trigger an initial broadcast, a reminder before the abstract or participant registration deadline, and a final reminder shortly before the event convenes. Making corrections to your announcement is easy too. Just log back into PARnet any time, and choose edit a submission from your personal Site Builders page.
Many people appreciate an opportunity to see what various regions and communities are doing.
Besides, with a readership from dozens of countries around the world, there is always the possibility that your announcement will reach someone close to your event who wouldn't know about it otherwise. You can now also create a custom local calendar for your own institution or community. This feature is useful for organizations that host frequent events and have a concentrated community of regular participants. Community members can then set the PARnet page on their personal computers to show the local event alerts and calendar instead of the default Cornell information. Simply click the Submit Calendar Event button below and follow the directions as you go.
