Add a description for your event. Be sure to include contact information.
Clicking the Add button will immediately add the event to your calendar and send a request to the Approval Account of any other calendars to which you have submitted your event. Once you have approved an event submitted to your calendar, it will appear on the calendar. You will receive notice from other calendar owners if you have submitted your event to other calendars.
The Publisher Sign-In link will bring you to this screen. Do not be concerned that the log in page appears as the IU Events Calendar. Because the basis of the IPFW Calendar is the IU Calendar system, this page cannot be made to look like the other IPFW calendar pages. Log in with your publisher credentials. You will be taken to your calendar.
