Show HN: I'm building a IMDB for tech events and tech speakers
It's a side-project. I've been working on it almost 2 years. In my spare time I organize various tech events myself. I'm most proud of PolyConf [10]. I've created Eventil to solve my own problems with tech event organization. There are many organizer features that help me be more efficient. My focus is on speaker profiles. I'd like to help fellow organizers out to find interesting speakers. I'd like to also help tech speakers easily find related events.
A business model is being built around my insider knowledge. It could result in consulting projects through the platform. This is already the case to some extend. Eventually it could be automated.
The project is in alpha stage. There are bugs, but there's also a consistent cycle of weekly iterations. Please bear with me. I usually fix everything quickly. I'd be happy to have your feedback. You can also submit issues via GitHub [11]

Also, they don’t seem to recognize that Montreal is the same as Montrèal. Or Brussels is the same as Brussel, and also the same as Bruxelles.
I haven’t looked any further.
@zaiste I created https://techevents.co/ - an aggregator for tech events and will be launching it next week. I would like to integrate it with eventil.com once it finished. Are you planning to have some basic public API?
Now I aggregate tech events from Meetup, Eventbrite, Lanyrd, Facebook. This helps people to look events in one place instead of browsing all websites separately. And once the user clicked on the event I am forwarding him directly to original website/content. I would like to integrate to Eventil too once it will have more content. Of course, if you would like that?
Question is, if you can actually solve it :)
