How AddEvent Subscription Calendars Work

Benefits of a Subscription Calendar

Add Multiple Events at Once. Instead of manually adding individual events, all events in a subscription calendar are added together.

Do event changes sync automatically?

Sharing a subscription calendar allows others to dynamically connect to your calendar and receive updates for events as they’re added or changed. Unlike sharing individual events, sharing a subscription calendar creates a live connection between the subscriber's calendar and the AddEvent calendar.

What are subscription calendars used for?

Subscription calendars are versatile and can be used to increase event attendance, boost awareness, and improve engagement. Here are some examples:

Marketing channels

Since people frequently check their calendars, listing your events on a subscription calendar provides high visibility. Subscribers will see upcoming events directly in their calendar, making this an effective tool for ongoing engagement and awareness-building.

Sports season schedules

Subscription calendars are ideal for sports teams, athletic facilities, or event organizers. Fans can subscribe to the full season's schedule or specific events, keeping them connected to the team or facility year-round.

Conference session schedules

For multi-day events, such as conferences with numerous sessions, a subscription calendar helps attendees see all sessions at once in their calendar. This provides clear organization and keeps attendees informed on what’s happening next.

Education class schedules and school events

Educational institutions can use subscription calendars to share events such as class schedules, deadlines, campus activities, and sports events. Students can subscribe to access calendars specific to their class schedules or to stay updated on school-wide events.

Can subscribers remain anonymous?

You can collect information from your subscribers or allow people to subscribe anonymously.

Can I subscribe someone on their behalf?

It is not possible to subscribe on behalf of a user. Each subscriber must take action to connect their calendar to the AddEvent calendar, as this dynamic connection requires their explicit authorization. This also means it is not possible to upload a list of calendar subscribers.
