Conditional Formatting Based on Events and Filters

I am trying to create a powerbi calendar, using a Matrix. I have been fairly successful to this point. I am now trying to use DAX to create conditional formatting when an event, as seen on the calendar, and the event type slicer match. I am familiar with using a formula to create conditional backgroud colors, so I am stumepd as to why this is not working this time. I have included the screengrab of the DAX formulas, the Calendar and the Layout of the relational tables. Thank you!
