Would you book travel on an expected date?

Imagine an event you want to attend has a tilde (~) beside its date. Try the decision before opening the live calendar.

What should I check before booking?

Treat the date as a planning window. Select the event name to visit the organizer, then confirm the exact dates and attendance arrangements. Verified only filters the diary to checked dates. A press marker describes recorded press information and does not grant accreditation.

How would I record the DVD 2026 entry?

In the calendar screenshot, DVD 2026 (Defence Vehicle Dynamics) appears on September 16–17 in Millbrook, UK, with a verified date. The separate exhibition and press labels describe the event and its recorded access information.

For a press assignment, open the organizer’s event page to check registration and the press deadline before putting either in your diary. The screenshot is a historical example.

What does the countdown mean?

The countdown runs to the displayed start date. Now means the event is underway. Use the organizer’s site for tickets and access. Read the calendar instructions.
