The Venango Area Chamber of Commerce launched a Daily Events Calendar, creating a one-stop digital hub for discovering local events. This new platform was designed to address a common concern in the region: “There’s nothing to do around here.” In reality, Venango is bursting with life, from concerts and workshops to festivals and family-friendly events. Now, it’s all in one place.
The new Events Calendar is designed to be modern, easy to navigate, and mobile-friendly, ensuring users can browse events by date, category, or location in just a few clicks. The platform aims to increase awareness of local happenings and make it easier for all audiences to discover what’s going on in their community.
“There’s so much happening in Venango County!” said Ashley Zaccari, Be Here Program Manager at the Venango Area Chamber of Commerce. “Our communities are full of life. The problem? People didn’t always know where to find it.”
Supporting Locals and Welcoming Visitors
The Venango Area Events Calendar benefits both residents and travelers looking for authentic, local experiences. It simplifies event discovery while reflecting the spirit of Venango communities. Whether planning a weekend trip or searching for nearby activities, users can now find timely and accurate event information in a centralized, beautifully designed calendar.
“It’s a fresh and exciting tool for both locals and visitors,” Zaccari said. “Residents can quickly explore what’s happening nearby… Visitors can plan their trip with confidence.”
Efficiency for the Destination Team
For the destination’s marketing staff, the new platform, powered by ITI Digital’s DXP technology, streamlines workflows by allowing community members to submit events directly. The intuitive backend saves time previously spent on manual updates, allowing the team to focus on engagement and promotion.
“The DXP platform has made our team’s job so much easier,” Zaccari explained. “We’re spending less time on admin tasks and more time promoting the amazing things happening in our area.”
