One dot per event in its focus colour: filled when the dates are confirmed, a ring when they are still to be confirmed, pale once held. Click a month to filter the map and the list, or a dot to open the event.One dot per event. Tap a month to filter, a dot to open the event.
Three views. Each event sits in one. Quantum Computing holds the events dedicated to computing and the broad events that cover every quantum technology, whose programmes computing leads. Quantum Communication holds the events dedicated to quantum communication, quantum networks and post-quantum cryptography, and Quantum Sensing those dedicated to quantum sensing, timing and metrology. In these two views, the broad events that also cover the technology can be added.
Focus is who runs the event and for whom; colour shows it on the map and in the list.
Format is what the event is built around, whatever it calls itself:
Held marks this year’s editions that have already taken place; they stay on the map and in the list until the year ends. Dates confirmed means the dates of an upcoming edition are published. Dates to be confirmed means they are not yet published: the month shown comes from an announcement of the month or season, or from the pattern of past editions.
Places are announced by the organiser, expected where an event usually returns to the same host or country, or shown at the previous host city until the next one is named. An event goes on the map once its city is announced or expected; until then it is in the list.
A filled dot is an event with its dates confirmed, a ring an event whose dates are still to be confirmed and a pale dot an event already held; colour is the focus. Zoomed out, a marker per region or country gives the count, its ring split by focus. Zoomed in, each event has its own dot. A grey point marks a city with several events. The timeline under the map shows one month at a time, and the month-by-month chart below the list shows every event of the calendar at once.
Names are written out, with the year. The short form people use, such as QIP or SC26, labels the map and sits under the name in the card.
