When exporting a subtree, the top-level outline becomes the title of the
document, i.e., the document becomes morally equivalent to:

    #+title: test
    <2021-03-18 Thu 15:00-16:00>
    body of text

There is indeed no event to export in this case. Only level 2 outline
will become events. You may want to export region instead.
