As of September 7, 2021, the TechEdConnect calendar has moved from
the president@wpcug.org account to the calendar@wpcug.org account. As a result, if you have subscribed to the calendar
in the past using president@wpcug.org, you need to unsubscribe that calendar (which is no longer shared) and
subscribe to calendar@wpcug.org. 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.

- 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
