The problem it solves

You want to stay on top of local events worth attending, sponsoring, or competing with, but checking listing sites yourself and typing entries into your calendar is tedious. It is easy to miss something because you simply did not have time to look that week.

Who it fits

A community manager, event planner, or marketer who needs to track local events without manual research.

How it works

  1. On a schedule, the automation checks a local events website for new listings
  2. It scrapes the event details from the page
  3. Each event is added as a new entry in your Google Calendar
What you get

A calendar that fills itself with local events

Local events get added to your Google Calendar automatically as they're announced.

What you get

A Google Calendar automatically filled with upcoming local events.

What you need

A Google Calendar account and a web scraping service.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
