In-person events have returned back to normal levels, but virtual events may be here to stay, since we have discovered how useful they can be. Therefore, this Events calendar will maintain its reorganization into 3 tables. The first table is of in-person events. The second table is of virtual events that have not yet happened, as of the time of their posting here. The third table is of past virtual events for which recordings are available.
