The online 2022 Fastener Calendar will be updated throughout the year.

First printed in 1996, the FIN Calendar became online-only for 2021 as the Covid-19 pandemic left fastener organizations unable to set full schedules for the year.  Many dates were added during 2021 as the pandemic situation changed.
