While technically not a conference, you're missing a big one: SHA2017 in The Netherlands [1]. Starts the 4th of August, and there are still some tickets left. [1] https://wiki.sha2017.org/w/Main_Page

Will add it. And will make sure to load the one from next year, once that one will be announced :)

Notice that the app doesn't really keep a history of state. After executing a search, back arrow on browser doesn't do what the user would expect. Either give a "reset" option, or better, don't break the browser and implement something like pushState()

Nice. An ability to filter by price (and actual availability), application / submission deadline, and volunteer opportunity would be useful, also.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll add it!

"Hipmunk for conferences." You might be able to make an actual thing out of this.

DataFox also has a solution for indexing valuable conferences that syncs with your Salesforce. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zq5uauwm4TU&t=0s

Would like to second DataFox as a valuable tool for identifying conferences that our Salesforce prospects are attending.

How is this different from http://lanyrd.com/ ?

Lanyrd is a dead site walking. They were acquired by Eventbrite ~4 years ago, and haven't seen any meaningful updates since May 2014. Their social media accounts have been completely dead for two years. The site has frequent uptime and spam issues, and attempts to reach out to Eventbrite folks are met with complete silence.

And yet, it still exists, running along with juuust enough inertia to crowd out any potential replacements.

If you're reading this and work at Eventbrite: Please, lobby internally to put Lanyrd out of its misery.

I've seen event aggregators come and go. Usually they die off when the maintainer gets bored of the events. Anything different planned here?

I promise to not get bored and to add more value to it soon;) Or to find a way to automate the maintenance while adding more value :)

Automating or crowd sourcing would be a good idea
