We typically add event pages on the Collapse Press facebook page (under events) and share information on Instagram. (@collapsepress or follow #collapsepress) These are the best places to get the most current details on our events. Below are some of the launch events, but this might not be inclusive of all events. We host a lot of events. Apologies if we need to get caught up now and then.
