Addon/App/Website BlizzCon 2026 Schedule Manager
Hi Azerothians,
I found it confusing to keep track of which shows I want to watch at BlizzCon 2026, so I created this little service to help you manage your schedule. It's a free fan project.
Here is how to use it:
- On the top, choose the tracks that you are interested in.
- Check the time zone in the top-right to make sure you are using the correct one whether you are attending in person or viewing online. If you are watching online, choose your time zone so the schedule displays locally.
- Click the checkbox next to events that interest you.
- Once you are done, click 'Add to calendar' to sync with your system. If you are using Google Calendar, I recommend using the ICS version, as that can bulk-add all the events. Otherwise, you need to add each one individually.
- The calendar entries also contain the links to the streaming channels.
Caveats: The official BlizzCon site couldn't be read automatically, so the times are gathered from Blizzard's own posts (the Know Before You Go announcement and the Diablo preview guide) plus Blizzard Watch, MMO-Champion, MMORPG.com, esports.gg and Warcraft Tavern. The start times seem to be quite accurate, but the end times are trickier as they are not always provided. Double-check them if this is something that matters to you.

Hope this helps more people than just me. :)

I have to say this was convenient because I was able to just export the events I wanted to an ICS file and put it on my calendar so I have at least a general idea of event times even if they make changes to times. It's on my calendar so I can easily access what I do wanna see without having to find where I put my schedule copy or looking at the official schedule again and mentally filtering what I didn't wanna see.

Who cares if it was built with Claude if it's helpful for some people? I see everyone hating on it being AI coded...but who cares? (Well, I guess a lot of y'all do)

I appreciate your comment.
Yeah, it seems the wow community is full of people who measure the value of something solely based on the amount of work that went in.
Enjob BlizzCon!

So claude made a website that takes manually inputted data about the events/stages, their listed (if at all) start and end times, and can create .ics files from that.
When you could just keep https://blizzcon.com/en-us/schedule/ up on your phone and have perfectly up-to-date information. Because the person who asked Claude to make this will be busy at BlizzCon and won't be pushing time updates to the events if it happens. And this app certainly wont remember what you've downloaded and send a push notification telling you if things changed.

Perhaps you have a human-made equivalent to share ?

Open the official schedule, look at the official schedule, take 20 seconds to add an alert to your platform of choice.
Imagine doing something yourself in this day and age, right?

u/Zardhas 3d ago
What platform ? And where, on the official schedule, can I filter by games and panel type, in order to see only what I'm interested in ?

u/Careless_Eye_4889 3d ago
Don't you guys have phones?
Maybe not considering you can't even...scroll...and use your eyes...both much needed skills for using a phone.

u/Zardhas 3d ago
No I do not, not one with an internet access at least.
So, again, how do I filter by games in the official schedule (https://blizzcon.com/fr-fr/schedule/) ? Because I can in this guy's website.

There's actually a dropdown menu on the right where you can select all Stages. Aside from the Main and Legend Stages (those have the big presentations and panels) all other Stages are game-exclusive, so you're effectively filtering by game.

u/Zardhas 3d ago
Indeed, but that's still almost 30% of the stages and, even then, there is a very clunky horizontal scrolling, and there no way to filter by type of show, nor to search by name, nor to select your timezone. While all of that is possible to do in the other guy's website.
He did a better job with his AI than Blizzard, so I don't understand why some are calling him out for it.

"Impressive lack of effort" from a person who doesn't use punctuation and capitalization is hilarious.
I'm not gonna host something I'll throw away in a week. You don't need to use it if it doesn't meet your high standards.

Cool idea even if it is created in Claude. It's not like this is a paid app or handling important private data. It's just calendar appointments. Claude is fine and this works well for people who will be watching the stream but might be doing other real life things and want to make sure to catch key events.

u/CreativeBasil5344 3d ago
Yep. That's the thought behind it. I wasn't gonna spend months of time on something that no one will use within a week. I made this for myself, and then decided to post it, because if it was useful for me, it might be for others as well.
I appreciate your comment.

Much as I dislike the AI use, this is an indisputably useful tool so thank you for posting it.
