  • We will be migrating you and all of our SceneThink calendar clients from your current calendar to the CitySpark event system

  • The SceneThink Calendar has been officially deprecated - meaning, we are no longer investing in the platform and it’s approaching end of life.

  • The CitySpark team is ready to get you migrated over with your current calendar content!

We’re reaching out with important news about upcoming changes to our event platform.SceneThink was acquired by CitySpark in 2023, and we've spent the past 18+ months integrating our teams and systems. In order to now focus all of our resources and effort into moving our platform forward in the AI era, as well as ensure that all clients are able to benefit from the coming new features and functionality, we will be unifying all of our clients on a single platform. The SceneThink Calendar is officially deprecated and will be available through the end of 2025. No further development will take place on the old system.

CitySpark Calendar BenefitsAs part of this migration, you’ll gain immediate access to enhanced functionality and new tools, with key highlights listed below:

  • Simple implementation

  • Both user-submitted and aggregated localized content moderated by our content team

  • Better spam tools

  • Front-end editorial tools for calendar administrators

  • Reverse publishing for print and newsletter export

  • Better embeds (called widgets in CitySpark) including multiple views and the ability to add multiple widgets per page

  • Be specific with your coverage area using our shape tool rather than the traditional radius - accurate down to the block

  • More promotion options, including a cart for multiple promotion purchases in one transaction.

  • Robust promotion and featured event options, including auto-generated display ads using event images and description

  • Sales lead tool to identify potential opportunities, including contact info and total purchase history

  • For a full list of platform features, please see the attached PDF.

Other Available Platform Add-Ons

  • Private label ticketing

  • Business listings/collections

  • Best Of/Readers' Choice balloting

  • Photo contests (paid and unpaid)

TimelineWe would like to migrate you as soon as possible - we can complete our set up process within a week. We encourage you to start today. (Carpe diem!) We understand every organization has different projects and priorities, but we can go as fast as you would like.

We have already started migrating Scenethink content and events to the CitySpark calendar. We will coordinate with you and your team for your organization’s specific timeline, but we encourage you to migrate as soon as possible, ideally before the end of the summer to take advantage of increased revenue opportunities in the fall.

Please fill out this form and the CitySpark team will reach out to discuss your timeline and next steps.SceneThink to CitySpark Calendar Migration
