Event managers in Calendar: Get the help you need
Sometimes it takes more than one person to pull off an event. Other people are needed to coordinate details, take on different responsibilities, or chip in more if someone helping becomes unavailable. Now with Event Managers, an Event Owner can easily give anyone in Calendar full ownership of their events! Give Full Event Control It can take multiple people to bring an event together.

Calendar is where you can find all the answers to what events are happening when, where, and with what stuff. But there is one last question—who? Who is in charge of all the rooms and resources assigned to these events? We made it a little bit easier to answer the “who is in charge here?” question with the shiny new Approval Groups tab! Now you can see the full scope of what an approval group is responsible for—rooms and resources—and who is in the group, all in one place. You can still edit

Show Events from Groups in Calendar
Small groups are the textbook example of a flexible event—also known as a planner’s nightmare. Everything from meeting time to location and even day can change on a dime to suit the needs of the group. It gets even more tricky if you have to book facilities for those events! Then you have to update details in Groups and Calendar. Now, just like with Registrations, you can subscribe to a feed of Groups events in Calendar—any changes you make in Groups will automatically update in Calendar! Ble
