Most of the July events say 2022. Is this a typo, or is this last year’s event calendar?
Hi Lisa:
Which article are you referring to? If the article shows a 2022 publish date, it is probably last year’s article. Most events come around annually, so it can still give you an idea of what’s coming up. If it has a 2023 publish date, we try to indicate if there are some events that we are still waiting on updates for – but we still include them for planning purposes.
