Doors Open Content Guidelines

We’re excited to share that we’ve created a set of content guidelines to help our partners with their social media posts. These guidelines are designed to ensure consistency, maximize engagement, and effectively highlight the event’s key messages. By following these recommendations, our partners will be able to create impactful  content that resonates with their audience and strengthens our collective presence online. We look forward to seeing the great content you’ll create!

Event Insurance

There are many places where you can purchase event insurance online or over the phone. We recommend Duuo for reasonable prices but you are welcome to work with your preferred vendor. We also recommend that you check with your organization about what your current coverage is. Many organizations may already have coverage through existing policies.
