Hi Linda! CEA’s EAGx Coordinator here. This is definitely not a policy, and I also want everyone to know about events at the earliest date so they can make arrangements to attend. It’s one of my biggest goals to increase the lead-time for events, for both organizers and attendees, and I’m hoping that we’ll be able to publicly announce more 2025 events soon.
Typically, we add an event to the webpage as soon as the event is “officially confirmed,” which is usually as soon as the contract with the venue is signed. This contract procedure sometimes drags on and we announce before everything is complete, but this risks the possibility that the event date is moved or cancelled (which has happened before, and is obviously disruptive for anyone who has made plans).
For EAGxNordics 2025, I approved the save-the-date announcement in early December before the venue contract was signed. Since then, we’ve had delays in adding it to the webpage and applications opening which hopefully will be resolved shortly (in the next day or two). Sorry for any disruptions this may have caused for anyone’s planning, and I genuinely appreciate this flag (it would have been very valuable information to share if true!) and the acknowledgment that it could be a misunderstanding.
