The "+add to calendar"  allows an individual to add a particular session to an individuals personal calendar. Take this button and making it optional on the designer side (as a toggle would be nice) in attendee hub would give more control to the event planner. I know this button does not add it to the "my schedule" within attendee hub which is where I am most concerned with, but some people will try to bypass the fact that its on their personal schedule and attend a session that has a fee associated with it. If they were to attend said session and not pay but show the instruction their personal calendar and it shows up there, the instructor doesnt know if they have paid or not and will usually allow them in the class. Then, we at registration are forced to take payment after the fact because they attended. And its not fair if there is a waitlist and other people were not able to attend due to the session being full. If that option is not there, it forces their hand in attendee hub and it wont allow them to register/add the session to their "my schedule" unless they see someone at registration to pay for the session.

Hi Heather, 

Unfortunately, right now there is no direct setting that can allow you to remove this option. However, as a workaround you can remove the text "Add to Calendar" using a White Space character from the language management section. This make the word "Add to calendar" invisible on the app however the little drop down would still show up. You can refer to this article to see how to add it.

Find the word "Add to calendar" and edit it using the Pencil icon. To add a white space just press the space bar under the "Custom Text" and save the changes this should add the whitespace.

Can you adjust the text size or the button and text color so that they match the background of the app screen? I have done this in the past to hide things that you cannot remove in Cvent.
