This thread is a response to an off topic question in a post in the Printing Lesson Schedules thread.

If you look at both what is displayed in Lesson Schedules and in the printed copy that the number is the day of the month rather than the lesson number. The title is the name of the event. These events are there as a reminder to users that there is no lesson because an event has taken the place of the lesson.

Also, note that General Conference dates aren't necessarily the same worldwide. Yes, General Conference occurs on only one weekend in April and one in October, but in some places the issues of language translation and time zones combine to make it impossible for units to observe general conference on the same day as most of the world. So there needs to be some flexibility even for general conference.
