When is the first 'major' event of this summer?

[Annes]

Would this be the 1st NAC, or is there another 'international' or regional event sooner?

Depends what you call major! ;)

The first North American Challenge Skate will be July 10-13, in Lake Placid, New York. It will feature Novice Ladies, Men, Dance and Junior Men from USA and Canada.

The Liberty competition, July 16-19, in Newark, Delaware, is one of the major club comps of the summer in the East. Many skaters from Nationals will likely debut their new programs there (Johnny Weir and Scott Smith, for example).
