Upcoming Events Block
Display upcoming events, tradeshows, and meeting locations in a card-based layout with color-coded event types, date/location details, optional badges, and call-to-action buttons.
Usage
The Upcoming Events block is ideal for:
- Company events and conferences
- Tradeshows and expos with booth information
- One-on-one meeting locations and office hours
- Webinars and workshops
Event Types
Each event has a type (Event, Tradeshow, Meeting, Conference, Webinar, Workshop, Seminar, Networking, Training, Summit, Demo, Panel) which affects color coding. Use Custom to enter your own label (e.g., Open House, Hackathon).
Past Events
Add an optional End date (YYYY-MM-DD) to each event. Events with an end date in the past are automatically moved to a "Past Events" section at the bottom. Use Past event link and Past event link text for different CTAs when the event is past (e.g., "View Recap", "Watch Replay"). Leave empty for recurring events — they stay in Upcoming. Uncheck "Show past events" to hide past events entirely.
Build vs. runtime: The upcoming/past split is computed when the page is rendered. With static site generation (typical for VitePress), that happens at build time — you need to rebuild for events to move from upcoming to past. With runtime content fetching, it would be dynamic.
Features
- Two-column grid on desktop; single column on mobile
- Optional image — when set, the card spans full width with the image on the right
- Flexible text-based dates (e.g., "March 15–17, 2026" or "Every Tuesday")
- Optional end date for automatic upcoming/past sorting
- Location and venue details with icons
- Optional badges (e.g., "Featured", "Limited Seats")
- Call-to-action buttons with configurable text and links
