Announcements category vs Community Events

I’m struggling with improving community experience for my users.

I have separate category for the “Announcements and Events”. For the general events it works perfectly fine.

But then, within my Forums, I have other ongoing events. If one wants to keep track of everything that is going on in my community, they would have to manually check each category.

And if there are multiple different events within same category, they are colored the same on the Calendar.

The perfect scenario would be to have “meta-category” with all the events regardless of which category they come from. Especially since I’d prefer my users to subscribe to this “Announcements” category to use it as a newsletter with all the community updates.
