Color-code events by type or priority. Categorize alumni gatherings, fundraisers, and networking events for easy navigation and planning. ### Mobile access for organizers Organizers and staff open the same calendar from their phone through SharePoint or Microsoft Teams, so dates, venues and changes are at hand away from the desk. ## When Virto Calendar App fits — and when it does not | Real-life scenario | Best fit | Why it works | | --- | --- | --- | | Reunions, fundraisers and chapter events across the institution — Alumni relations, faculties and development plan events in their own Microsoft 365 group calendars. | Virto Calendar App M365 | The group calendars are overlaid in one view with a colour per organizer, so two events do not compete for the same alumni on the same weekend. | | Event dates next to available venues — Halls and rooms are booked through room mailboxes. | Virto Calendar App M365 | The room mailboxes are drawn next to the event calendars, so a reunion is set on a date when the venue is free. | | Preparing each event | Virto Kanban Board App | A Kanban board per event shows invitations, catering and speakers moving from to-do to done, with an owner on every card. | | Registration, waitlists, donations and the alumni database | An alumni CRM or event registration platform | Virto Calendar App shows when and where events happen.
