Concierge Alliance Adopts dotCal Event Publishing Technology

PORTLAND, Ore.--( BUSINESS WIRE )--The Concierge Alliance of Napa Valley and Sonoma (CANVAS), an organization where professional ethics and integrity are at the core of promoting the hospitality business, has recently aligned with dotCal, an Oregon company, to provide an automatic, continually updated, member-contributed, calendar of local events for the Napa, Sonoma, and the San Francisco regions.

Looking to enhance communications with their concierges, wineries, hotels, and tour guides, CANVAS is using the new dotCal Internet-based Calendar Communications Technology as a solution for event sharing and publishing. The system supports direct-to-consumer broadcasting, website publishing, public events submission, and automated member event submission through the dotCal calendar communications network.

“dotCal will enhance our ability to collect and distribute local events from our members. Those that know the event best will be able to author them directly through a simple calendar-to-calendar connection, or through a form on our website. dotCal will speed up our event publishing process and enhance our accuracy,” said Colby Smith, Co-Founder and Executive Director of CANVAS.

Typical dotCal business users include:

“dotCal allows customers to communicate directly with their interest groups by leveraging the power of social media and open calendar formats from standards groups like CalConnect,” said Danton Mendell, CEO of dotCal.

“We enhance a business’s ability to social network and to broadly publish time-centric information,” said Mendell. “We view desktops, social networks and other large calendaring sites as connected clients on the dotCal network.”
