Stay up to date on events
There are a few ways to keep up with events, depending on whether you want a quick home page, a calendar subscription, an RSS reader, or a weekly email.
Save a city
On a city hub, use the Save button to make that city your default. The home page will show events from that city first when you come back.
You can change it any time from the Preferences page, or by saving a different city. Preferences are stored in your browser, so set them separately on each device you use.
Subscribe to a calendar
Each city hub has a Subscribe to calendar menu. Add it to your calendar app and new events will appear automatically. Cancellations and updates sync the next time your calendar refreshes the feed.
- Google Calendar: choose Google Calendar from the menu.
- Outlook: choose Outlook Live or Outlook 365 from the menu.
- Apple Calendar and other calendar apps: choose Subscribe in calendar app, or download the .ics file if your app needs a file import.
Each city has its own feed, so subscribe to each city you want to follow. A subscription keeps itself updated. A downloaded .ics file is only a snapshot.
Add one event
On an event detail page, use Add to calendar when you only want that one event. Google Calendar and Outlook links open a ready-to-save calendar entry. The .ics option downloads a one-time file, which may not update if the event changes later.
If the event is part of a recurring series, the page may also offer Subscribe to series. Use that when you want future dates in the same series to keep showing up in your calendar.
Use RSS
RSS is useful if you already follow sites in a feed reader. Each city hub has an RSS link, and the RSS feeds page can build feeds by city, disability community, or event type.
Add the feed URL to your reader and new matching events will appear there. You do not need an Access Events account.
Get the weekly email
The weekly email is a simple roundup of disability community events. Subscribe on the home page if you want one digest instead of calendar or RSS updates.
