Ask HN: Is there a website that provides a feed of events/exhibits/trade shows?

4 points by realcertify 8y ago ↗ HN

I've been unsuccessfully looking for a long time for a website that provides a feed of events/exhibits/trade shows based on my interests. For example I would be really interested to know about upcoming robotics-related events.

Normally I get to know about those from news when it's too late to make accommodations. Thanks!

I made this for startups. A side project from a long time ago that still keeps chugging.

Thanks, interesting site. But I need broader topic coverage, search by keywords, and an ability to stream new events as a feed.

In general, I'm surprised that events are not served as (e.g. iCal) streams more regularly. Consider also cinema/ theatre/ concert listings - this is (should be) extremely structured data, but the only way to keep up with a bunch of venues is by visiting their websites regularly. Or is there an easier way that I am missing?

Exactly, same problem is for entertainment, although it's in a bit better position - there are a few websites that serve related information.

As for fairs and exhibits - so far the only usable site I was able to find is www.expodatabase.com, but I wasn't able to get the feeds working and it looks horrible on mobile devices...
