The Calendar dropdown will show you any calendars that you are currently subscribed to and have add or edit permissions to. If you are subscribed to a calendar, but it is not listed, contact the manager of that calendar to ask for additional permissions.
The Event Type dropdown allows you to optionally classify what type of event you are creating. Additional Event Types can be added by your administrators in the Selection Sets – Event Type.
