This essential extension for the EventOn calendar plugin bridges the gap between casual browsing and committed attendance, turning your event site into a highly functional planning tool.

Use Cases / Who It’s For
This add-on is perfect for any website owner using EventOn to manage complex schedules where users need to filter through many options to find what matters to them. If you manage a multi-day conference, a music festival with multiple stages, or a community calendar with dozens of daily activities, this plugin is an essential tool for improving user experience.
For conference organizers, it allows attendees to build their own agenda from a dense list of breakout sessions, ensuring they don’t miss the workshops they registered for. For festival organizers, it helps fans keep track of their favorite artists’ set times. By allowing users to bookmark events, you are essentially helping them plan their visit, which significantly increases the likelihood that they will actually show up. It is an ideal solution for any site owner looking to provide a high-end, professional event planning experience that keeps visitors coming back to your site to check their saved schedules.
