Vol. 1 Your city Free forever Curated by you
A group chat forgets. A guide does not.
You do not book the bands or run the rooms. You just know what is on. This is the page that proves it.
Sources Venues · Performers · Blogs · Flyers · WhatsApp · Telegram · Instagram · Newsletters
You do not create the events. You decide what makes the page.
A curator schedule owns nothing of its own. Every event on it belongs to somebody else: the venue that booked it, the performer playing it, the organiser who typed it in at midnight. What you bring is the judgement about which of them is worth somebody's Friday.
Event Schedule is built that way on purpose. Events arrive from the talent and venue schedules you follow as sources, from the ones that name your guide as their curator, from the submission form on your page, and from whatever you paste in yourself. You accept, you file, you publish. After that the guide keeps filling itself while you get on with covering the scene.

Everything happening, in one place
Paste the text. Or drop the flyer.
Copy an announcement straight out of a group chat, or drag in a photo of a poster taped to a lamp post. The name, date, time, venue and price come back filled in and waiting for you to check. It reads several events out of a single image, and it does not care what language the poster is in.
Add their schedules as event sources and everything they publish, past and upcoming, lands on your guide on its own.
A venue that follows your guide can name it a default curator. Everything they post then lands in your queue.
When something you paste in is already on Event Schedule, one click lists that event instead of a second copy.
Readers send you events through the form on your page. Nothing reaches the public page until you accept it.
Approve a venue once and everything they send after that publishes straight through.
Sort what arrives into sub-schedules: music, markets, kids, whatever your guide needs.
Ten submitters spell the same room ten ways. Merge them back into one in a single place.
Name a performer or venue who is not on Event Schedule yet and they get a page crediting your guide, which they can claim.
Following the guide is permission to email. You write the newsletter and send it: ten recipients a month free, a hundred on Pro.
Drop the calendar straight into your blog or your organisation page.
Build one shareable image out of what is coming up. Events need their own flyer to appear, and twenty of them fit.
Run the guide on your own address instead of a subdomain.
Nothing goes to print without you.
Every submission waits in the queue until you accept or decline it, and a signed-in submitter hears back by email either way. Once you trust a venue, put them on your approved list and their events publish straight through, so the queue only ever holds the things you actually need to read.
Already running this in a group chat?
If you are already posting what is on into a WhatsApp group, a Facebook group or a mailing list, you are a curator. You just do not have an archive.
A group is good for conversation, but posts sink. Nobody joining next month will ever scroll back far enough to find what you wrote today.
And so
A guide is a permanent address anybody can find and link to. Keep the group for the chat. Put one link in it, and let the archive do the rest.
One link to share
Post the guide once instead of every event twice.
A standing archive
Readers can browse what is coming and what already happened.
Reach past the group
Anyone can find the guide, not only the people already in the room.

Not everything on your guide has an address.
An online event carries a link instead of a venue, and it lists on your guide exactly like everything else.

However you gather what is on, the guide gives it a permanent home.

Everything curators ask first
Is Event Schedule free for event curators?
Yes. Following venues and acts as event sources, running the approval inbox, building a following and syncing with Google, Outlook or CalDAV are all free forever. Schedule graphics are free too. Removing our branding is on the Pro plan, and your own domain is on Enterprise.
How do events get onto my guide?
Four ways. List the talent and venue schedules you cover as event sources, and everything they publish, past and upcoming, appears on your guide automatically. A venue or performer who follows your guide can name it a default curator, and everything they schedule then lands in your queue. Visitors can submit an event through the form on your page, signed in by default. And you can add events yourself, by hand or by pasting in text or a photo of a flyer.
Can I control which events appear on my schedule?
Yes. Submitted events wait in your inbox until you accept or decline them, so nothing reaches the public page without your say-so. A signed-in submitter hears by email which way you decided. If you trust a schedule, add it to your approved list and its events publish straight through, and the event sources you picked yourself skip the queue too.
What happens when an event is already on Event Schedule?
You are offered the existing one. Paste in something the site already knows about and the importer flags the match, so a single click lists that event on your guide instead of creating a second copy, and the listing keeps pointing back at the schedule that owns it. Draft and private events are never offered, so nothing unpublished can end up on your page.
What happens when I list an act or venue that is not on Event Schedule?
They get a page of their own the moment you save the event. It says who created it and that they have not claimed it, credits each date to the schedule that added it, and stays out of search engines until it is claimed. On eventschedule.com you can tick a box to email them an invitation. When they claim it by signing in with the email address you entered, your guide goes on their approved list, so the events you list them on keep appearing without waiting for their approval.
How do people discover my curated schedule?
Share your schedule link on social media, embed the calendar on your blog or website, and let search engines index the page. Readers can subscribe to the whole guide as a live calendar from the sign-up panel on your page, so a moved date updates itself. Readers who follow the guide are giving you permission to email them, so a newsletter with the highlights of the week is yours to send whenever you like.
