13[Luma](https://lu.ma) is an event, calendar, and ticketing platform.
14
15Luma makes it very easy to RSVP for free events online or in person, without having to go through a long sign up process.
16
17It has very complete email update and notification features. By default, it will send an email the day before and then the hour before an events start time, but can be customized.
18
19For shared, curated calendars, you can also send newsletters to all those that are subscribed to the calendar.
20
21It is a proprietary platform, but it does have an API and can be embedded as both individual events or entire calendars. I think of it mostly as like a "Substack for Events". I can export the email addresses of attendees and import them elsewhere.
22
23I've asked the team to add an option to map domains to calendars -- so I could do `calendar.example.com` -- as another way to not just send links to someone else's platform.
