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

4 points·realcertify··4 comments

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!

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...

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.
