Notes on other pages (not used for 2027 dates)

https://www.seriousbusiness.net/schedule-p is labeled 2024 Schedule and is not used for 2027 dates. About/FAQ pages mention early-registration dates Saturday January 11 / Sunday January 12 and Saturday January 20 / Sunday January 21, which do not match 16-18 January 2027; those leftover dates are not used. FAQ-1 says the event is hybrid; the 2027 homepage, tickets, and 2027 schedule pages do not state a virtual ticket, so attendance mode is left offline.
