Managing and sharing events can be a challenge, especially when schedules change or updates get made. A subscription calendar makes this process simple by allowing users to subscribe to one calendar and automatically receive your updated events and event details. Instead of manually tracking event details or relying on multiple platforms, organizations can keep everything in sync effortlessly.
With AddEvent, you can create a single, centralized calendar for all of your scheduled events. Whether you’re coordinating company-wide meetings, industry conferences, recurring webinars, or community events, your audience stays informed with minimal effort on your and their parts.

A subscription calendar is perfect when you have multiple events that need to be easily accessible to your audience. Here are some key use cases:
By using a subscription calendar, businesses and organizations can streamline event management, get organized, and ensure people always have access to the latest event information—without the hassle of constant manual updates.
If you already manage an event schedule in another system—such as Google Calendar, Outlook, or another platform—you don’t need to start from scratch. AddEvent allows you to import your external calendar, keeping all your events in one place and allowing your users to subscribe and stay up to date without the need to recreate events in AddEvent.
This is particularly useful if you have multiple calendars and need a single source of truth. By importing your existing calendar, you maintain control over your events in your external calendar while making them easily accessible and visible through AddEvent.
Both subscription and embedded calendars offer value, but they serve different purposes:

By using a subscription calendar, you reduce the time and effort needed to keep everybody informed. Instead of relying on emails or website updates, your events appear directly in their personal calendars—where they already plan their daily lives. We suggest using embeddable calendars in addition to subscription calendars as it gives your attendees an easy to find updated event calendar if they don’t want to subscribe to your calendar. This increases engagement, attendance, and overall satisfaction with your events.

Sharing your upcoming events can take time and effort. Skip the headache and use subscription and embeddable calendars instead to share your entire schedule of events in one go!
Embeddable calendars are perfect for sharing your schedule of events in a calendar view on your website, landing page, or community page. Viewers can see all upcoming events and can add them individually to their calendars or can subscribe to the calendar to add a calendar feed into their calendar of choice.
Subscription calendars can be shared via a link, landing page, or embeddable calendar, allowing viewers to save a feed of your entire events calendar or schedule with one click. This calendar feed will reflect any new or updated events in the subscriber’s calendar, ensuring your subscribers know when your next event is happening.
