How long will it take my event to be listed after submission?

 Typically the same day. You will be notified via email once it is posted.

What should I do after my event is submitted?

Spread the word.   Simply put, the more visitors to BostonOffline.com, the more eyes that will see your event and they in turn will also help spread the word about your event.
