At present, the Oneboxes for events are a bit meh. Basically, they are no different to regular topic Oneboxes, and don’t include the date, time, description, etc etc (unless put into the Topic Title as a workaround).
Here is an example event from our site:
> **[Urbanerds Ōtepoti Dunedin September 2025](https://spokes.nz/t/urbanerds-otepoti-dunedin-september-2025/1207)**

> 📅 September 17, 2025 7:00 PM → September 17, 2025 8:30 PM (Pacific/Auckland) · Moons Join us for the 3rd edition of Urbanerds in Ōtepoti Dunedin. 🏙 Whether you’re into riding your bike, taking the bus, care about the climate, love great...
Would it be possible to hook into the new (and brilliant) cards that appear on click in the calendar for events, and serve these up as oneboxes? For example:
> 
That might not be feasible at all, but I do wonder if the metadata could be modified for event posts so that they Onebox in a way that highlights the critical event info (especially internally).

I have 0 votes left but you have my vote anyway 😉 , this would make the event promotion shine more indeed.

@chapoi / @j.jaffeux I have been thinking about this.
I think a fundamental change we need here is to introduce proper event URLs so you can use them to onebox and instead of oneboxing:
`https://SITE/t/slug/123`
We would onebox
`https://SITE/event/slug/1234`
It does open a bit of a pandoras box (in a good way though)
1. How do people find the link to the event? (I guess we add to context menu)
2. What happens if they visit the event directly from the URL? (I guess we redirect to post event for now)

Agree with the idea – can definitely do something nicer here

If you mean this:
That seems the right place to me too.

Have you had any further thoughts on this?
I’ve just oneboxed a couple of events today, and found I had to add the date / time into the title so they made sense. That really shouldn’t be necessary.

Holey Moley!! It has been done!!! Check this out:

> On 2026-05-14T04:00:00Z (UTC), we hosted our webinar: Community Retention: How to Define and Drive Return Behavior. One of the biggest takeaways: retention does not always mean constant activity. For some communities, success looks like a highly engaged member base that returns daily. For others, success means members showing up exactly when they need support, finding value quickly, and coming back again later when the next need arises. If you’re looking for ways to think more intentionally a…
Awesome work, [@team](https://meta.discourse.org/groups/team)!
