Case Study: Sustainable Business Oregon achieves a community-managed events calendar and streamlined event submissions with Caspio

Community-Managed Calendar for Sustainable Business Oregon

Sustainable Business Oregon, a division of American City Business Journals that covers Oregon’s green business community, needed a community-driven, date-centric events calendar that would let readers view and submit local sustainability-related events without heavy IT involvement or paper-based workflows. Their challenge was to create an attractive, easy-to-navigate weekly calendar that encourages community contributions while minimizing administrative overhead and environmental impact.

They solved this by building a database-driven events calendar with Caspio’s Calendar DataPage, using point-and-click customization and an online submission form with simple approval workflows. The result is a low-maintenance, interactive calendar that reduced programming time and paperwork, engaged the local community, and enabled the organization to extend Caspio to directories, nomination/resource forms, and a job portal while focusing more resources on editorial work.
