How often should I post before an event?

Start light (1-2 posts a week) months out, then ramp to daily in the final two weeks before the event — a flat weekly cadence the whole way through either wastes content early or under-promotes right before the deadline.

What should I post right after the event ends?

A thank-you and recap post within a day or two, ideally with a highlight photo or a quote from an attendee — this is also the best moment to plant the seed for next year’s event while the experience is fresh.

Which platform drives the most conference registrations?

For B2B conferences, LinkedIn typically drives the most registration decisions; for public or community events, Facebook Events and Instagram tend to perform better because of their RSVP and Stories features.

Should I schedule live day-of posts in advance?

Schedule what you can predict (a "doors open" post, a session-start reminder) but leave room for real-time posts during the event itself — genuine day-of coverage (a great quote, a packed room) usually outperforms anything scheduled ahead.

Social media content calendar for events and conferences

Event marketing does not run on a flat weekly rhythm — it runs in phases: a slow build months out, a daily countdown in the final weeks, live coverage on the day, and a recap afterward. The calendar below is built around that phased cadence rather than a fixed weekly count.

Posting cadence and platforms

Suggested cadence

Phased: 1-2 posts a week early, daily in the final 2 weeks

Event content genuinely has no steady state — posting daily six months before a conference wastes content on an audience that isn’t ready to register yet, while posting only weekly in the final week before the event leaves real urgency on the table. Ramp the frequency as the date approaches.

Best platforms

LinkedIn
Instagram
X (Twitter)
Facebook

LinkedIn is where most B2B conference registration decisions get made; Instagram carries the visual speaker/venue/countdown content; X still matters for real-time day-of coverage and live-tweeting sessions; Facebook Events supports RSVP tracking for community and public events.

From spreadsheet to scheduled posts

Once the Caption and Media URL columns are filled in, the file is ready to schedule. SkedCast's bulk import accepts a CSV or Google Sheet, lets you map your columns to post fields and validates every row before anything is scheduled, so a typo shows up as a flagged row rather than a failed post.
