I've been racking my brain for a single word that would apply to the future in the same way that "recent" applies to the past. I looked up antonyms of recent but that was a dead end as it led to words describing further past rather than near future.
There was a recent event at the town hall.
VS
There will be a XXXX event at the town hall.
I've thought about "future" however that is ambiguous on when. It is sometime between a moment from now and the end of time. "Shortly" works if we are ok using an adverb and reordering the sentence.
Is there another option that I'm missing?
