If you do business in the United States, you will already know the Super Bowl is coming up in February. What you may not realize is that it’s not the largest event this month. Not by a long shot.

It will attract a crowd of more than 65,000 people to Florida and far bigger numbers will tune in online. But in the United States, bigger events in February include Mardi Gras, the South Florida Fair as well as the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo.

But every other event selected as particularly exciting by our data science team this month is much larger. And many are lower profile so more easily missed – especially if you work in a global company.
