Which ones should you prioritize?
Start with three, then work outward
You do not need to list on all platforms for every event. But you should be on at least three that fit your target audience. A good starting stack for most Edmonton event organizers is Eventbrite (for ticketing and Google visibility), Explore Edmonton (for reach and credibility), and one niche platform that fits your event type.
If your event is business-focused, add Edmonton Chamber of Commerce. If it is a summer festival, add Summer City. If it is arts or culture, add Edify Edmonton. If it is community-focused, add Taproot. Layer from there.
The more places your event appears, the more chances someone has to discover it. Edmonton's event-goers check different platforms depending on what they are looking for, and spreading your listing costs almost nothing compared to the audience it buys you.
One more thing once they arrive
Getting people in the door is only step one
Listing your event in the right places gets people to show up. What happens once they are in the room is a different challenge entirely.
If your event has a networking or community component, Jam Bingo is the easiest way to make sure people actually meet each other instead of standing near the snack table all night. Guests scan a QR code, get a conversation prompt on their phone, and go find a real person in the room who fits it.
You spend all that effort filling the room. Make the connections happen once they are there.
