Next Meeting vs. the NEXT Meeting
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
My organization meets the same day (3rd Thursday) every month. On our web site, I am displaying rotating announcements with details for "April Meeting", "May Meeting", and so on. I want to add headers so it is clear to everyone which meeting is next, but I am stuck on the word NEXT.
I am looking for a two-word title to express the meeting that is happening within the next thirty days, and another two-word title to express the meeting that is happening a month AFTER that.
Today is April 11th. In Slot A is the April Meeting. Do I label it "This Meeting", "Next Meeting", or what?
In Slot B is the May Meeting. Do I label it "Next Meeting", "Upcoming Meeting", or what?

How about "This Month's Meeting" and "Next Month's Meeting"? I know it is more than the two words but it is simple and makes sense.
Or if two words are a must, why not simply put "April's Meeting" and "May's Meeting"?

There's always some ambiguity about "next". It could be the one coming up, or the one after that.
To avoid ambiguity, consider using an absolute term such as "April 2019" or "April 2020" etc, and avoid the word "next" altogether.
