Calendars and Events ( SessionID: 30003 )

In South West Herts we have built a series of community diaries. These diaries are based on Google Calendars and are collaborative in that whoever would like to help populate them, can.

By collaborating and working together we can create a set of comprehensive community calendars that contain the vast majority of what is happening locally, without it being an onerous task for anyone.

Why should you attend?

If you are keen to help share local events and collaborate with others to provide a really useful tool for everyone in the community to use, then this is a must for you.

Typically organisations will only post about their own events and if they are lucky others might share too... but these posts quickly fade in timelines... these calendars we are building become a permanent and easily accessible community service that not only will provide information about what is coming up... but a record of what has been before also.

How might you benefit?

You can benefit from attending in a number of ways :-

1. Become more connected with what is happening locally and get more involved
2. Help others in the community become more visible by getting their events listed in these local calendars
3. Discover how easy it is to be able to add events to the calendar and contribute something really useful

... and have lots of fun...
