Ask HN: Where can I find upcoming tech conferences?

3 points by terinjokes 15y ago ↗ HN

I'm a conference virgin, never been to any conferences, let alone anything technology related. (Actually, that's a lie. When I was about 8 I went to a "Better Homes and Garden" conference with my parents) I always hear about cool conferences happening out in California, they all seem really cool (such as CodeConf). Except they might as well be on Mars, there's no way I can afford the time or the money to go to one.

Is there a website that keeps track of tech conferences happening, even those that, while smaller, happen outside of Silicon Valley?

I'm in Florida, if it matters.

Thanks. I found a conference in April in a nearby city that looks legit, and I'm signed up to attend.

Plancast is more than just conferences, but you can find out a lot about what's going on through the site. Especially if you follow the right people:

There are also various public Google Calendar calendars that specialize in different industries, etc. For example, there's one that is just AI/Machine Learning conferences.

Smashing Magazine seems to have a post on these at the beginning of each year.
