This post was updated December 20, 2021 to reflect scheduling changes prompted by Covid case counts and variant spread.

Most people are busy wrapping up projects before the Christmas break, which means this month’s event calendar is rather quiet. So we’re looking ahead to trade and consumer events scheduled for January, although we’re doing so with a caveat – a seasonal increase in COVID-19 cases (and the Oimcron variant) could upset this schedule, and we recommend checking event websites regularly to stay abreast of any scheduling changes.

That said, here’s what’s on the schedule for the first month of 2022.
