We are

SyndicateUs is a neutral third party resource for public event information. We are non profit, are collaboratively developed and offer free access to event data to anyone who will display it to the public.

If you have technical skills and are interested in public event calendaring, please consider joining this effort!

Services

Distributing event information to the public can be viewed as a three legged stool - and we offer web tools tailored to each:

	Industry Publicdrum is an interface to the dataservice aimed at the two primary parties in event data distribution: People putting on events (contributors). The print, broadcast and web media (outlets) who present event information to the public. It provides a more efficient channel for entering, distributing and processing event data.
	Technical SyndicateUs is the machine behind the dataservice and is aimed at developers who work with event data. Our API offers complete access to all data in a in a wide range of formats We offer a variety of embeds and widgets that can be freely used.
	Public Our newest offering. A searchable calendar allowing the general public to query the dataservice. We hope the event contributors will use it to distribute their event information. And recipients will use it to explore other events of possible interest. (encouraging 'co-promotion').

The problem

If you work with event calendaring or event data you are aware that the market is highly fractured.

• People with event data have many places to put it,
• The public never knows where to find it
• Outlets duplicate each others efforts to receive, validate and display event listings.
• Displaying events from multiple sources is difficult.

Our Solution

The information industry has long known the solution for fractured data - create a single point master.

SyndicateUs is a data warehouse offering a rich, bidirectional API for receiving and extracting event data.

• Submissions from contributors are entered at Publicdrum.org and enhanced with metadata.
• Data can be extracted in a wide variety of publishing and internet data formats.
• Warehouse is designed to support reliable extraction and automation.
• Easy to use 'SyndicateUs Aware' tools to display aggregated event data.

SyndicateUs is a shared public resource. We are collaboratively developed, publicly funded and have no financial interest in the events or the data. All services are free.

Our motto: "We do not promote events - we support those who do!"
