Find your conference: calendar for developers

Finding a conference to your liking is a challenge. Many people are probably familiar with the situation: rummaging through a bunch of websites, stacking on the search engines and thematic communities. You have to bookmark a bunch of sources where announcements of events are published randomly. One website only posts JS conferences, while another only posts about Android development meetups. It's inconvenient. Therefore, the PVS-Studio team launched an event aggregator for developers. You can find it on our website.

Now all IT events are collected in one place. You no longer have to tediously search for a conference where you want to make a presentation or just be a participant.

Welcome: Events for developers!

The events are sorted by subject, country, and the format. The aggregator will show you a catalog of all C++ conferences or Java meetings in Germany in a couple of clicks. You don't have to scroll through a long overall list.

The card of each event contains information about the date, the venue, the format, and the event organizer. There are also tags that indicate the topic of the conference. All conferences are divided by the programming language and industry. Events on information security, mobile development, gamedev, and other topics have their own categories.

The aggregator has now collected around 300 events. Each conference is checked before getting into the list. Only the most useful events reach the user. Once a week, the team searches for the newest events and adds them to the catalog. You can suggest your conference through the feedback form.

In addition to large conferences known around the world, the aggregator can show small meetups. This is one of the key features of our service — we want to promote small communities of developers from different countries who might find it difficult to find an audience without third-party support. When you attend them, it's easy to meet really passionate professionals: these guys are boosting the IT industry with their enthusiasm.

The service operates without advertising: PVS-Studio doesn't get paid for publishing conferences and only includes events that are considered important.

The aggregator contains events for many countries, but the focus is on English-speaking conferences. We believe that developers from all over the world will use this service.

The service is brand new — the team shared it to the public in March 2023. It would be cool if you could share your feedback :)
