As Buddy the elf saysā āThe best way to spread Christmas bor any Holiday!] cheer, is singing loud for all to hear!ā ā¦but how do I make sure my whole team is available and included in meetings when an invitee books?

What is a Collective Event Type?
Calendlyās Collective event typesĀ allow invitees to book meetings with more than one host, or co-hosted meetings. The live booking page will automatically check real-time availability of all assigned hosts and only offer your invitees times in which everyone is available.
When would I use a Collective event type?
- a sales call with an account executive and an SDR
- a technical support call with a customer support rep and an engineer
- interviews with a recruiter and a hiring manager
- ā¦ and more!

āDid you know: Coming soon to a Teams or Enterprise plan near youā¦ Host Pools for Collective and Round Robin Events toĀ allow round-robin scheduling with multiple groups of hosts. For more information, feel free to take a look here.Ā
