Virtual Events Calendar for WordPress: Optimize your calendar for virtual events

Let’s back up again to March 2020. I’ve talked about this before, but in my other life, I’m an event organizer, and I have been for about as long as I can remember. When COVID-19 hit, every piece of event revenue—for me and for other event planners—stopped cold. No new sponsors. Cancelled events. Refunded memberships. I immediately went to work trying to transition to virtual events on my own site’s calendar where I run a directory for family-friendly events, but I soon realized that it was going to be a huge pain in the ass. Plain and simple, we built Virtual Events to make your life as an event organizer easier. While some of our customers have made The Events Calendar and Event Tickets work for virtual events, the reality is those plugins were built with live events in mind—not webinars, online classes, and virtual conferences. Virtual events require their own calendar solutions, and that’s why we’ve spent the past few months hard at work on this plugin.
