The Lawrence County Tourism Commission has launched an innovative Events Calendar, providing a centralized and dynamic hub on the Limestone Country website for discovering events across the region. Developed in partnership with ITI Digital, this cutting-edge platform automates event collection and updates, ensuring visitors and locals never miss out on exciting happenings in the area.
"We were motivated by the amount of time that the Events Calendar would save us from having to go out and search for events ourselves. We can now use that time elsewhere. We were also motivated by the fact that we will more likely not miss events because the calendar goes out and pulls those for us," said Tonya Chastain, Executive Director of the Lawrence County Tourism Commission.
A One-Stop Destination for Events in Limestone Country
With the new Events Calendar, visitors and residents can effortlessly discover upcoming festivals, community gatherings, live performances, and more. This interactive platform provides a seamless experience, offering:
- Real-time event updates pulled from multiple sources
- Searchable event listings by title, organizer, and keyword
- Custom filters by date and category for personalized results
- Mobile-friendly design with GPS navigation for on-the-go access
- Multiple ticket links and event info sources for seamless planning
"The Events Calendar benefits visitors and residents of Lawrence County because it has created a centralized and easy location to find events in our area. There are also some very useful organizational features, such as event categories and filters for specific dates that visitors can tailor to their specific needs," Chastain added.
Revolutionizing Event Management & Promotion
For the Limestone Country tourism team, implementing the new technology has been a game-changer in terms of efficiency and promotion. By automating event collection and reducing manual input by 90%, staff can now focus on enhancing visitor experiences and growing local tourism.
"The workload has been significantly decreased, and has allowed us to use our time more efficiently on other projects," Chastain emphasized.
The platform also ensures that more events are displayed online, minimizing reliance on businesses to manually submit events and increasing visibility for local happenings.
Never Miss an Event Again
One of the most exciting features of the new Events Calendar is its ability to automatically collect and update events, reducing the chance of missing key activities.
"The most exciting feature of the Events Calendar is that I no longer have to worry about missing an event in our area," said Chastain.
Additionally, the event detail page provides an “Upcoming Events” feature, showcasing four additional upcoming events, and helping visitors plan their itinerary with ease.
Partnering with ITI Digital for a Seamless Solution
By collaborating with ITI Digital, Limestone Country found an experienced and responsive technology partner to execute this project efficiently.
"The ITI Digital team is extremely helpful in every way possible. Anytime we have a question, they are right there to help, and happy to! They are also very prepared, making every aspect of our projects seamless," Chastain shared.
Encouraging Community Participation
Limestone Country wants the local community to see the new Events Calendar as a resource for event promotion. Businesses and organizations are encouraged to submit their events for approval, ensuring they reach a wider audience.
"One takeaway we want the local community to know about the Events Calendar is that we are here to PROMOTE, and if their event is not on our calendar, they can submit it to us for our approval. This calendar is a tool for the whole county, to promote our destination and what we have going on for our visitors," Chastain emphasized.
