Hi everyone! I recently launched conferCal, a conference calendar for developers and other people in tech.
With filters for topics, dates, price and location, I wanted to make it easier to find creative or tech conferences you want to attend, speak, exhibit etc.
Why
The idea for conferCal came about because I was just too lazy to scour every list on the internet for conferences related to design, code or entrepreneurship. It was also annoying to find cool conferences and then 3 clicks later, figure out that it was too expensive, from a location or price standpoint, to attend.
Plan
My first goal with conferCal is to become a single resource, for those mainly in tech (from designers to developers to marketers to entrepreneurs) to find conferences. Eventually, if the demand is there, it would be awesome to expand to other creative fields. But I’m taking it one step at a time.

This is super thoroughly done. It's also the kind of project with a lot of little details which will continuously need refinement and persistence. It's most useful if enough people think of it as a trustworthy part of their routine so they keep coming back. It takes time to reach that place and this is a great start.
You said it perfectly Ben. And that’s exactly what I’m hoping for. Thank you!
oh this is cool! I'd love to see filters for open (or not-yet-closed) CFPs where that information is available.
This is something I’ve been thinking about adding! It’s good to hear someone else suggest. Thank you!
Just twitted it! great work!
Thank you!
This is great, thanks for making it!
Thank you!
Very cool! Nice job and idea!
Thank you!
Can't say how many times I've been annoyed by the cost of a conference I was super interested in. Glad someone took action! This is great!
I understand the sentiment completely. Glad you find it useful! :)
Great idea, I hope you can get more exposure as it's a great tool. Couple of small issues, the filters are lost when changing the main category, and the region filter for the UK has some odd entries. I'd be happy to help if you want it
Thank you! Good point! I didn't build that in actually so I'll add that to my list.
What are the issues with the UK? Shoot me an email at kim@madebybourn.com if you don't want to fill the feed here.
Ok I've sent an email
Nice idea and good website (I love the design) but I think about two conf: FOSDEM (Open-source) and PgDay (RDBMS confs). Maybe theses topics are missing :)
Thanks for the suggestion! Open-source is a good one actually! I'll see if I can round up a few. If so, I'll add the topic. Otherwise, this would be fine under General for now.
Thank you! That's superb! I will add it to my bookmarks!
p.s. Can we change "Kiev" to "Kyiv" (this is correct variant most publishers ignore)?
Thanks for the heads up! I had no idea! Fixing it now.
Thank you!)
Great idea, I always thought the tech conference info was scattered. Such a terrific design too!
Thank you!!
