I'm from Montreal and I'm going to San Francisco from 9-18th of August. Do you know any good conferences for me? I'm studying software engineering and I'm passionate about drones. Thank you HN!

I moved here only about 7 weeks ago and the challenge ive discovered is more about deciding WHICH of 3-4 awesome meetups tjat happen every day or the 2-3 conferences scheduled each week i want to attend.

I'd reccomend going to meetup.com and setting your location to SF. My profile of interests matches yours and I found around 300+ groups with regular meetups that were fun.

Note: there are also lots of conferences that are held here but those usually require not-insignificant entry fees (they're paid for by your employer normally) and there isn't a single resource that easily lists all conferences available in the area. I'd start with the meetups since they're usually free and take usually place after normal working hours.
