The calendar’s start date is the date selected when the calendar is opened. Calendar administrators can set the start date to the current date (most common) or a past or future date.
By default, Teamup calendars are set with the current date as the calendar’s start date. In a scenario like conference planning, it makes sense to select the date of the conference as the default start date.
