Conferences that Work

APRIL 29, 2024

Since 2009 I’ve maintained an informal calendar of peer conferences (aka unconferences) on this site. It’s informal because I only list events I hear about, a minuscule fraction of the unconferences people hold every day. Even so, the calendar lists hundreds of events. Currently, I add a few peer conferences a month. For example, as I write this the May 2024 listing includes events in Vienna, Austria; Raleigh, North Carolina; and two in Nepal.
