Feature Request: Persistent Conference Agenda Display with Chronological Order

We would like to use the Event Calendar widget to display a conference agenda. However, once the event concludes, the agenda currently moves to the “Previous Events” section, where:

  • Users must navigate away from a blank ‘upcoming events’ page to find it.
  • The session order is reversed (Newest to Oldest), which is not ideal for a conference programme.

Proposed Enhancement: Allow the Event Calendar widget to continue displaying the full agenda after the event ends, in its original chronological order (Oldest to Newest).

Benefits:

  • Improved User Experience: Visitors can easily revisit the full programme without extra navigation.
  • Session Recordings Integration: We can embed/link to session recordings directly into the agenda descriptions, turning the calendar into a lasting resource.
  • Consistent Presentation: Maintaining the original session order preserves the logical flow of the event, which is especially important for multi-day conferences.

This enhancement would significantly increase the utility of the widget for conferences and similar structured events.

Hi there, @user27058 and welcome aboard :waving_hand:

Many thanks for such a detailed description of your idea!

Glad to say that we’ve just started working on this feature (showing past events on one page with upcoming). Please upvote this idea to receive a notification once the feature is released :slightly_smiling_face: - Toggle for past events display: show under upcoming events or on Previous events page
