Adapting to Change
Hosting Events in the Immersed Community Without the Calendar
Big news, everyone! The event calendar in the Immersed Discord server is no more. While it had its perks, let’s be honest—it wasn’t getting much love. But hey, that’s okay! This change gives us a fresh opportunity to try something new and take a more creative approach to event planning.
If you’re like me, you might have had a brief “Uh-oh” moment when you realized we’re on our own for event promotion now. But don’t worry—it’s not as scary as it sounds! Think of this as a chance to spice things up and tailor your events exactly how you want them to be shared. No more templates, no more waiting for uploads—just you, your event idea, and the community.
And let’s face it, we’re a pretty resourceful bunch. Whether it’s hosting VR hangouts, workshops, or casual meetups, we know how to make things happen. So let’s roll with it, get creative, and keep our amazing events thriving! Here’s what I’m planning to do to keep my events front and center—and maybe it’ll inspire you, too.
