+Every year there are multiple Rust events around the world, bringing together the community.

+that are already being organized!
+
+This year, one of the Rust Team's primary goals is to [**"Connect and empower Rust’s global community."**].
+We'll be working throughout the year to encourage and support Rust events all over the globe.
+
+As always, there are nearly a hundred [Rust User Groups][usergroups] worldwide.
+If you haven't already, take a look at the [Rust Community calendar][calendar], to see if there's an upcoming
+event near you.
+
+If you are already running a Rust event or are interested in starting one, email the [Rust Community Team][commteam]!
+We can offer you support and guidance, as well as advertise the event in blog posts like these.
