Source: Utah Tech Calendar submission page
source confidence: Medium status: Useful updated 2026-08-12
Summary
The Utah Tech Calendar's submission page. It is short and carries one thing the rest of the site does not spell out: the mechanism by which an event gets in, which is structured-data extraction from a URL rather than a form an organizer fills in.
It also states the site's base in a fuller form than the header does — "compiled in Cottonwood Heights, Utah".
Useful Claims
- Submission has two modes: paste the URL of one event, or suggest a whole calendar for which a scraper is then written.
- Event submission is automated by structured data: the accepted inputs are Luma, Eventbrite, Meetup, Silicon Slopes, or any conference page emitting schema.org event markup, from which title, date, and venue are extracted automatically.
- Hand-built calendars are explicitly out of scope for single-URL submission and are routed to the "suggest a source" path instead.
- The site states there is no manual data entry required of the submitter in either mode.
- The footer describes the calendar as "compiled in cottonwood heights, utah · updated nightly" and lists archive, about, iCal, RSS, and embed endpoints alongside submit.
Verbatim
Paste a URL to one event and we'll pull the details. Or suggest a whole calendar and we'll wire up the scraper. Either way, no manual data-entry on your end. — Submit page, lede
Luma, Eventbrite, Meetup, Silicon Slopes, or any conference page with schema.org event markup. We'll pull the title, date, venue automatically. — Submit page, "Event URL" field help
What works as a URL? Luma, Eventbrite, Meetup, plus any conference page that emits schema.org event structured data. If you have a calendar that's hand-built, use the "suggest a source" mode and we'll take a look. — Submit page, explanatory note

Reliability Notes
Self-reported tier: the operator describing his own intake process.
The claims here are unusually checkable for a marketing page, because they are mechanical. Either a pasted Luma URL yields a listing or it does not, and any reader can test it. Nothing here was tested, so the mechanism is recorded as described rather than as verified.
What the page does not say is as important as what it does. There is no stated turnaround time, no statement of who reviews a submission or against what rule, and no appeal path for a rejected event. The inclusion criteria live on the Discover page and are illustrated rather than specified, so an organizer submitting an event cannot tell in advance whether it will be judged "craft, not tech".
One structural consequence worth drawing out: because ingestion keys on schema.org event markup, the calendar's coverage is a function of how an organizer publishes, not of how significant the event is. An important gathering announced only in a Slack message or a PDF flyer is invisible to this pipeline no matter who is running it, and the "suggest a source" path is the only route in.
