Tips for using the events calendar

Are you familiar with our events calendar, Tapahtumataulukko? MiB’s joint events calendar is a key tool for our event organising and internal communications. It allows us to collect the information for the event invitations sent to all MiB members.

Some do’s and don’ts for using the calendar - let’s keep the calendar nice for everyone to use:

  • Please note that all the changes you make on the events calendar are visible to everyone using the document. Make sure don’t write over someone else's event or delete any rows.

  • Create a new event on a new row. A new row can be added by clicking add a row or you can use one of the empty rows (towards the end of the table). 

  • When you use filtering, make sure you choose the option of showing the results of the filtering only to you, not to everyone. 

  • Please make sure you fill in all the required information carefully.

  • Only the events that are marked Valmis/Ready or Valmis/ Ready: invitation to mingle, will be promoted to MiB members. Every event that is marked Valmis/Ready should have a registration link (if needed), and the description of the event already added to the Event descriptions document.

Thank you for following these guidelines!

Additional event calendar for English events

  • MiB International project also has an additional event sheet for collecting the information of all our English events together in one place.

  • In this sheet you can also add events that are still in the planning phase. This is useful for avoiding overlapping events, for example.

  • Events listed on the MiB International projects’ event list will not automatically be picked for email invitations. So you still need to add your event in the event calendar (Tapahtumataulukko) as explained above. Thank you for this extra step!
