Lanyrd: Conference Directory
Going to conferences is more than just about attending those training sessions or listening to famous people speak. The networking side of things is much more important than anything else you can get at a conference. We all know the popular conferences such as SES or SMX. But there are plenty of other valuable ones that are worth attending. You just would not know about them without doing some searching. Thanks to Lanyrd, you won’t have to. It’s a conference directory that helps you find events to attend to and even figure out which events your friends and contacts will be going to.
Users can take advantage of this search engine to go through conferences by name or by place. It’s also possible to use this service (in conjunction with a Twitter account) to find which conferences your tweeps will be going to.
If you are into speaking at conferences, you can use this service to let others know about your future events (and build a track record for yourself). You can even get your books listed on this website. Lanyrd is not perfect, but it’s a very helpful service for those looking for more conference to participate in. It can save you time searching for events in your area.
