Hi HN!

I created TechEvents.co to solve my own problem. There are a lot of event websites that already exist, such as Meetup.com, Eventbrite.com and Facebook, but the problem I had is that it took a lot of time searching through these sites individually to find interesting events.

So I built TechEvents.co, which is an aggregator that collects tech events from Meetup.com, Eventbrite.com, Facebook and Lanyrd.com into a single source which can be filtered and ordered by popularity. Right now there are over 35,000 active events and 260,000 attendees. I will be adding more sources in the future.

This is saving a lot of time for me. Hopefully, it will be useful for others too!

Would love to get some feedback and I’m happy to answer any questions you may have!

In which city are you?

If you are looking for tech events you can use https://techevents.co/ aggregator. Right now it collects events from Meetup, Eventbrite, Lanyrd, Facebook, and shows in one place by providing easy search and ordering by attendees count to be able to see popular events.

Full disclosure: I'm the creator of TechEvents.co

> Do you think importing data from CSV can make the process faster?

Yes, I would like to see import from CSV as an option. Lots of people will have data already in the file, so asking them to enter one by one can be pretty unattractive option for them. For example, I created https://techevents.co/ - tech events aggregator and have a huge DB of tech events. So I was thinking to add a map of "Tech Communities per Country" (or Tech Events Per country) based on avg monthly attendees count that I can get from DB report. And in that case CSV option will be great for me, I will just export DB report to CSV and import to http://www.mapjot.com/

> Also do you think adding country on the fly would be useful in case user wants to add a country?

Not sure, I didn't feel the need of it myself.

Great idea! I imagine there can be a lot of interesting reports and this can turn into an awesome long living project.

Here is some feedback for you. I tried to add my own map, but the process was a little bit hard ... it will be more simple if I can edit all in once, maybe some table with inputs. Going one by one and clicking edit on each country is too long process IMPO.

Also "Assign Random Colors" action changes everything, it will be cool to have some revert "Random Colors Action" button.

Yes, basic API to get events list(name, description, start_date, url, etc..).

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?

Could be a great alternative to Lanyrd. I feel like Lanyrd abandoned and there are a lot of spammy content now.

@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?

This is exactly what I was looking! I was working today on my product landing page - https://techevents.co/ and started by looking for examples to get some inspiration. And you just combined all together in one place. Very useful, great job!
