Mashable has been working hard to enhance the value of the Mashable Events Board for event organizers and our community. Since introducing the Events Board just a few months ago, we’ve featured nearly 150 events across a variety of industries and locations around the world, from search marketing in New York to the future of mobile in London to the Mashable Online Career Expo.

With the new features we’ve added to the Mashable Events Board, we’re excited to bring you even more reason to connect, network, locate and list events related to social media, tech, marketing, advertising and PR worldwide.

Event seekers will enjoy even greater value both on and away from the Mashable Events Board.

• Most Recently Added: The Events Board now defaults to sorting by the most recently added events, allowing you to quickly identify new events since your last visit. You still have the options to sort by date, location and event name.
• Discount Codes: We encourage event organizers to include special promotional codes on their event listings, available only to the Mashable community.
• Events Widget: Keep your eyes on the right side of just about any page on Mashable for a widget that provides a quick view of featured events.
• Events Email Newsletter: Through your Mashable Follow account, you can subscribe to the events email newsletter, which will keep you informed of events-related posts on Mashable, including the Mashable Events Board, Mashable-produced events such as Mashable Connect and features related to the events community.
• Mashable Events Twitter Feed: We recently created the Twitter account, @MashableEvents, which you can follow to see tweets about new event listings.

Event organizers will enjoy these new options for increasing awareness of and engagement with their event listings.

• Flexible Dates and Promotion: Choose for how long and where you want your event listed, ranging from 30 to 120 days.
• Multiple Event and Academic/Non-Profit Discounts: If you have multiple event listings or you’re a academic/non-profit organization, access our special discounts, designed to recognize the value you bring to both your following and the Mashable community.
• Online/Webinar: If your event is not in a physical location, select “Online/Webinar” as your virtual location.
• Video Promotion: Embed a YouTube clip from one of your previous events or create a new video clip to promote your upcoming event.
• HTML Support: Use an HTML editor during the event registration process to enhance the quality of the text in your event listing.
• Editing Tool: Edit your listing at any time to add new information, new speakers or any other updates.
• FAQ: Explore our newly created FAQ for help listing your event and to address any questions involving payment, discounts and promotion.

We’re pleased to introduce these new features, and we look forward to bringing you additional value and new opportunities in the months ahead. We hope that the Mashable Events Board can continue to serve as a one-stop destination for inspiration, motivation and professional growth opportunities. We look forward to your feedback in the comments — what else would you like to see from the Mashable Events Board?
