Events Overview (ACM Before October 2024)

This article applies to clients with an Academies and Content Marketplace (ACM) license prior to the October 2024 Major Product Release. If you are unsure if this applies to your organization, please contact your CX Representative.

Events are opportunities to meet peers, make connections, and receive live feedback. Just as a university-level degree path might ask students to attend scheduled events like meet and greets, study groups, and more, your company's program and Academy events are scheduled meetings that users and mentors can attend.

Calendar Options for Events

Add to Calendar

You can add events to your calendar from an email or from within the platform.

To Add Events From an Email

You may be invited to attend live events as part of your company's programs and Academies. Depending on your email preferences, 24 hours prior to an event, you will receive an email notification reminding you of the upcoming event. Only Google and Outlook Calendar users currently have the ability to add events to their calendars. From the email notification, click Add to Google Calendar or Add to Outlook Calendar to add the event to your calendar.

Changes made to an event will not be reflected automatically in calendar events. A join link will appear in your calendar invite under the "location" section, and you will be listed as the only invitee. (Users cannot see who else has been invited to the event through the calendar invite). Outlook users can integrate their calendar to see changes reflected in real time. There is currently no calendar integration available for Gmail users.
