Site containing list of tech conferences

Conference Radar

This project was created with the goal of maintaining a community list of tech conferences.

How to help

If you see any errors, have an event to add, or add detail to an event that is currently listed, please file an issue or pull request.

Add Details

1. Navigate to conferenceradar.com and click Toggle 'add event' form to display the form to create a record.
2. Edit the form as completely as possible and click 'Generate'
3. Submit an issue with the output of the form OR (even better) update events.json with the record and submit a Pull Request. This file is sorted alphabetically by name but don't worry too much about that -- we have a tool that will reorganize that we can run before making a new release of the site.

Events structure

This application is currently based on a json file containing conference information.

  {
    "name": "{{CONFERENCE NAME}}",
    "topic": "",
    "url": "{{CONFERENCE URL}}",
    "twitter": "",
    "city": "New York",
    "stateProvince": "NY",
    "country": "United States",
    "eventStartDate": "",
    "eventEndDate": "",
    "cfpStartDate": "",
    "cfpEndDate": "",
    "codeOfConduct": "",
    "latitude": 40.7127837,
    "longitude": -74.0059413
  },

The main fields right now are:

• name: Name of the conference
• topic: The topic of the conference
• url: The conference website
• twitter: The conference twitter handle or hashtag if no profile exists
• city: City
• stateProvince: State/Province (can be empty)
• country: Country
• eventStartDate: The Date/DateTime that this event starts (currently all dates are local — The longer term goal is for these to be UTC)
• eventEndDate: The Date/DateTime that this event ends
• cfpStartDate: The Date/DateTime that the CFP for this event starts
• cfpEndDate: The Date/DateTime that the CFP for this event ends
• codeOfConduct: Right now, this is a string for determining if an event has a code of conduct. (Perhaps switch this to a URL?)
• latitude: Latitude based on the event location information
• longitude: Longitude based on the event location information

Don't like editing JSON?

Totally understandable! If you know of a conference or see anything missing on this list? Submit a GitHub issue using standard text 👍 This will help put this item on the radar of others!
