Case Study: University of Bristol increases event listings and engagement with Timely Event Calendar

How Timely helped the University of Bristol relaunch their online university calendar, while increasing event listings, engagement and attendance

The University of Bristol faced significant challenges managing its online event calendar with an outdated, in-house system that was limited in functionality and visually unappealing. The platform was difficult to maintain, offered a poor user experience for both event submitters and visitors, and lacked the ability to incorporate the university's branding. They sought a reliable event management tool from a vendor like Timely to centralize their calendar, streamline submissions, and increase engagement.

By implementing Timely's highly customizable and white-label event calendar software, the university empowered its staff to easily submit events and branded its calendar with images and filters, greatly improving the user experience. This solution allowed the team to efficiently manage and promote events, which proved especially valuable for transitioning to online events during the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, Timely helped the University of Bristol achieve a significant increase in website traffic, faculty engagement, and the number of event listings since the new calendar's launch in May 2020.
