Arduino Day 2023!

Well, Arduino Day 2023 is past, and I have a request for future Arduino Day events:

Can we get a much longer advance notice of what the date will be each year? We learned this year's date around January 31, giving us less than two months to get locations scheduled and publicity out. The entire school system here did not allow us to spread the word of our event through them, even through their STEM/STEAM programs. And ALL the libraries already had their meeting spaces booked, EXCEPT for the one that had just reopened after major renovations. And even there, their events newsletter, as well as those at the other libraries, are only printed four times a year, and they would have needed to know about our event in December or earlier for it to have appeared in the newsletter for this year's March date. I also believe that the library we were in is one of the smallest in the entire county, and does not have a lot of patrons on any given day, so I would like enough time to schedule with a larger library closer to the center of town.

So at least in my part of the state of Virginia US, I need much more lead time to get a future location and to get the word out. Is this possible?
