Like an Event? Send It to Your Phone Instantly. - We just launched a feature we’ve always wanted in an event calendar, and once you try it, you’ll wonder why we didn’t think of it before.

If you create a free account on our site, you can now send any event straight to your phone with one tap. No more social media screenshots. No more copying and pasting details from your browser. No more hunting for that listing you half-remember from the paper three weeks ago.

See an event you want to check out this weekend? Tap the “Send Event to Phone” button, and the full event info lands in your messages - exactly where you need it, exactly when you need it.

It’s a small feature that makes a big difference in how you plan, and it’s something only our event calendar offers. It should exist everywhere, so we built it.

If you haven’t signed up for an account yet, here’s one more reason to do it. And this is just the beginning. We have even more helpful tools rolling out soon.
