Although virtual events can be viewed from anywhere, FullCalendar will only publicize them in one metro area, based on the city entered. If you submit a virtual event in more than one metro, the extra submissions will be refunded and changed to “draft” status. Some places we post to don’t allow the same entry in more than one location, and some don’t want even virtual events outside their coverage area, and we need to follow the guidelines of each place we post.

9/18/20: Publicize your online events!
We are publicizing virtual events: comedy, theater, business, film, and more. We stopped posting to a few places that aren’t maintaining their listings, and added or expanded a few where we could now post online events, including a few that will accept them outside their normal coverage area.
For venue, you can enter what you want, eg, Virtual event, Online, Zoom, etc. What others have done:
– Virtual/Online Event
– Online
– Online Event – Webinar
– Zoom Online Meeting
– Zoom
– Client X’s ZOOM Theater
– Client X’s Virtual Meeting Room
– Client X Online
– Livestreamed on YouTube
– Livestreamed on Zoom
– Virtual Gathering using Zoom
– Web-hosted event
– Online from XYZ Bookstore (or XYZ Winery, etc)
IMPORTANT: we do need a CITY, we’ll send the listings to that geography, and that’s how we’ll figure out the time zone. For street address, enter whatever you’d like (same as above or similar); we’ll need to post that in some places but it will still be clear it’s an online event.
For emails, we’ll send out what you enter (without a physical address, but with a phone or url if you include them).
For websites, many of them ask you to use their existing venue entry for online events, so we use that for all online events. Some have a checkbox for online events, and don’t accept an address at all.
The media seems to be a mix- some are on hiatus, some are really looking for online events to post, some seem to be ignoring their calendar section so there are now-cancelled events among the online events.
But overall, the media is very happy to see your online (and now, occasionally in-person) events!
6/5/20: Responses to current events
We at FullCalendar condemn in the strongest possible terms all forms of racism, prejudice and discrimination.
Here are some responses from the places we post event listings.

4/8/15: Summer camp listing places
Some places we post events accept listings for kids’ summer camps, and some have a different process for them. Where there is a different process, FullCalendar doesn’t submit them, as they often have a fee or require information outside of our normal posting process. Here are some places where you can submit camp listings directly:
Koddler:

Bay Area Family Calendar (from Parents Press):
http://www.campsbayarea.com/camp-submission-page.html
Bay Area Parent:

We add more as we find them. Here’s to summer!

Hope this provides an idea of the types of events we help publicize: dance, music, tech, networking, health, benefits, family, and many more!
7/2/14: Changes afoot at national event calendar websites
Here’s an update on the comings and goings of some national event calendar websites.
Zvents
Zvents, owned by eBay’s Stubhub, is now transitioning from a general event site to focus on arts and entertainment, more in line with Stubhub’s ticketing business. The Zvents site itself will be shutting down this fall. We’re told Stubhub will have an event calendar but we don’t know details. In the meantime, Zvents is only approving new venue submissions manually and individually, and due to their change in focus, we’re only submitting new arts & entertainment venues.
Eventful, SpinGo and others
Zvents has been providing the calendars for quite a few newspapers, and those have been transitioning to other providers, including Eventful and SpinGo. We have been posting to these already, and will continue to post to new service providers as we find them.

Upcoming
In a twist, the discontinued event site Upcoming, purchased by Yahoo in 2005 and discontinued in 2013, is being resurrected by its original founder, Andy Baio. Andy created a Kickstarter campaign to gauge interest and easily blew past his fundraising goals. FullCalendar contributed and will hear updates as it progresses. Its current plan is to launch mid-2015.
