A. There are national, state, and local calendars that can help in your planning.

National Calendars

Deafmall.net has a listing of event calendars organized by state. More calendars are at OhSoEz.com.

Other National Calendars

In addition to the "master listings" above, there are additional, more specialized national deaf event calendar resources. Examples of specialized event calendars:

• Professional - The Clerc Center's Info to Go unit maintains a national calendar of Upcoming Conferences and Exhibits. This is THE list for finding the dates of educational and cultural events, especially those aimed at professionals. It is downloadable in both Word and PDF.
• Sports - The Deaflympics website has an international deaf sports event calendar. Another sports calendar was on the USA Deaf Sports Federation site.
• Sign Language - ASLMeetup.com has groups that meet all over the United States. Just search for your local group if there is one.
• Film - To quickly find where and what captioned movies (open and closed) are playing in your area, check Fomdi.com - has a searchable database. Enter a zip code, select a distance, and click.
• National organizations - National organizations for deaf and hard of hearing people may also maintain calendars. The Alexander Graham Bell Association has one.

State Calendars

As an example of a state calendar, the e-Michigan site has one. Some state associations of the deaf, such as the Oregon Association of the Deaf, also offer event calendars on their websites.
