As of January 17, 2024, the TechEdConnect calendar has moved from
the calendar@wpcug.org account to Calendar@TechEdConnect.org account. As a result, if you have subscribed to the calendar
in the past using calendar@wpcug.org, you need to unsubscribe that calendar and
resubscribe to Calendar@TechEdConnect.org. Google had assured us the change of domain wouldn't matter, but
apparently it still does. See intructions below to subscribe.
Simply click on an event to see the details. If you have a Gmail account, you can add an event to your own calendar.
To subscribe to the entire calendar on a computer or smartphone, click on your favorite device or application:

- It can be synced to a desktop calendar application or a tablet/smartphone calendar app.
- Controlling the access for editing is far more secure and easier to manage since it relies on Google security
