Zapaday launches worldwide Calendar Store

AMSTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS – Today, Zapaday, the future events monitor, launches a worldwide Calendar Store. In the store, journalists, newsrooms and corporate communication teams can subscribe to topic-specific calendars that best match their news reporting and communication issues.

Similar to an app store or a kiosk, the Calendar Store offers ready-made bundles of upcoming news and events on topics from around the world. Those include planned ‘Protests and Strikes’, ‘Human rights’, ‘Military movements’, ‘Official Visits’, ‘Product Launches’, ‘Sustainability’, ‘Rocket launches’, ‘Telecom Sector’, ‘Court hearings’ or ‘European Royalty’, to name a few.

The Calendar Store launches with over 300 ready-made calendars at zapaday.com/page/calendarstore. More calendars will be added weekly.

They can see upcoming opportunities, never miss threats and align day-to-day activities with the future.”

Newsrooms, too, can use the Calendar Store to stay ahead of upcoming events from around the world by adding niche content to their Newsroom account at Zapaday..... 

Calendar subscriptions range from 5 to 300 dollar per month. Some calendar subscriptions are free ... "
