Whither the TO Events Calendar.
We shuttered the TO Events Calendar late last year because we:
1. Were having trouble managing it, because;
2. We hadn’t improved the technology to help make our lives easier as curators and your lives easier as contributors.
Our plan for the past year was to integrate Plancast via their API as they were (are?) doing a pretty good job of sucking in events from most of our event sources (Facebook, Meetup, Eventbrite, etc), leaving us with some leg work to grab events from proprietary software calendars from the likes of Rotman, the Toronto Board of Trade, etc.
Alas, word this week is that Plancast may be leaning towards extinction for many of the reasons we never attempted to commercialize our calendar software.
Events for the week of September 27 to October 3.
This week sees the autumn event bonanza continue with Jeff Pulver in town, TedXToronto going down, and kicking off October with Nuit Blanche. Here are details on some of these highlights.
Events for the week of September 6 to 12.
Our TO events roundup for this shortened back to school week. Other than the Toronto International Film Festival and the Vegetarian Food Fair at Harbourfront, this is a light week for events, but here are some great options for you that may be getting lost in all the film hype.
Events for the week of August 23 to August 29.
What a week! From the early week roundup of eclectic events to Thursday’s GenYTO evening and Friday’s Tequila Monthly patio party.
Events for the week of August 9 to August 15.
