:ticket: A list of awesome conferences

Awesome Conferences

An awesome list of conferences. Inspired by the awesome lists thing.

This was seeded initially from @brittanystoroz's Twitter list. The O-Reilly folder is the dedicated front end where you can filter through all of the conferences listed by @joshsimmons on his excel sheet. Initial work on this list was done by @Stephn-R.

What makes a conference awesome?

• A code of conduct that is explicitly mentioned and upheld. For more on why, see this.
• A great line up of talks.
• A recurring schedule.
• Diversity; both in the talks and in the community who attend.
• Grants for students and minorities.
• Accessibility for disabled persons: wheelchair access, interpreters or captioning, etc.
• Alcohol-free drink options.
• Quiet rooms and safe space.
