Event management

This guide covers the event data files that editors update most often.

Event schedule data

The 2026 Triennial Gathering schedule lives in:

src/data/events/triennialGathering2026Schedule.ts

Each day includes a date, description, and an array of events with time, title, and optional speaker or details fields.

Updating schedule entries

Example entry:

{
  time: '09:00 – 09:15',
  title: 'Welcome to Iceland',
  speaker: 'Ólafur Gúðbjórn Skúlason',
  details: 'Landspítali, National University Hospital of Iceland.',
}

Keep the same keys and formatting. Add commas after each event object.

Countdown timer (homepage)

The countdown timer for the Triennial Gathering is controlled by the Event Header component:

src/components/EventHeaderSection.astro

Update the event date in the script if the schedule changes:

const eventDate = new Date('2026-03-30T00:00:00').getTime();

The visible date range and location text are also in the same component. If the event concludes, ask a developer to remove or replace the countdown entirely.

Common mistakes

Removing a comma between schedule entries
Changing key names (stick to time, title, speaker, details)
Updating the countdown date without updating the schedule
