How to Find a JavaScript, UX, DevOps, or Python Conference on Confs.tech

Confs.tech is a crowd-sourced directory of software-development conferences for 2026 and 2027. To find a conference in a specific discipline, start from the topic tags (JavaScript, Design / UX, DevOps, Python, and others), then narrow by region or country and by online vs. in-person format, and finally check the date and listing details. The site currently lists 165 conferences, so filtering is the practical way to get from the full list to a shortlist you can act on.

Start with the topic tag that matches your discipline

The homepage groups conferences by topic and shows a count for each. The tags most relevant to the four disciplines in the question:

Two practical notes on picking a tag:

• Adjacent tags widen the net. A DevOps-focused trip may also be worth checking under SRE; a UX search may also surface Accessibility conferences. The counts above are small, so combining two related tags often produces a usable list where one alone does not.
• Large general tags can bury your topic. "General" (30) and "Data / AI" (50) are the biggest categories. If you select one of these, expect to scan more listings to find discipline-specific sessions.

Narrow by region, country, and format

Once you have a topic list, the location filters do the second cut. The site breaks geography down at two levels:

• Region: Europe (97), Americas (30), Asia (19), Oceania (5)
• Country: Germany (38), U.S.A. (27), U.K. (14), Spain (11), Netherlands (10), India (9), Australia (5), Singapore (5), France (4), and more via "Show more"

Format filters sit alongside location: In person & Online, Online, and In person. There is also a filter for conferences that offer interpretation to International sign language or closed captions — worth checking if accessibility is a requirement for you or your team.

A workable sequence is: topic tag → region → country → format. For example, selecting JavaScript, then Europe, then Germany, then In person gives you a short, checkable list rather than a continent-wide one.

Read the listing details before you commit

Each conference entry is compact but carries the information you need to decide whether to look further. A typical listing includes:

• Conference name and location and date (e.g., "Barcelona, Spain · October 28-30", or "Online · October 29")
• Topics as hashtags (e.g., #data, #sre, #opensource, #graphql, #css, #accessibility)
• Social handles — Twitter and/or Mastodon usernames for the event
• A link to the code of conduct, where the organizers publish one
• An accessibility note where the event offers sign-language interpretation or closed captions

The dates matter for planning: the list covers October, November, and December 2026 in the current view, and the site's scope extends into 2027. Some entries are marked sponsored, such as ArchConf 2026 (December 7–10, Clearwater, FL), so treat those as promoted placements rather than neutral rankings.

Follow through to the organizer's own pages

Confs.tech is a directory, not a ticketing or registration service. The listing gives you the event's identity, dates, location, topics, and social handles; registration, pricing, and the full program live with the organizer. Use the social handle or the event's own site to confirm:

• Whether tickets are on sale and what they cost
• The actual session schedule and whether your specific talks are confirmed
• Whether an online option is a livestream or recorded-only
• Visa, travel, or venue details for in-person attendance

The site also exposes a Call for Papers entry point and a Past conferences view. The CFP link is useful if you want to speak rather than attend; the past-conferences view helps you judge whether an event's typical content matches your interests.

If nothing matches, add the conference yourself

Because the list is open-source and crowd-sourced, a missing event is a gap you can fill. The homepage includes an Add a conference action. Before adding, check the existing list under the relevant topic and country so you don't create a duplicate, and have the essentials ready: name, location, dates, topics, and any code-of-conduct or social links. This is also the mechanism by which the list stays current — organizers and attendees submit new events and updates rather than a central team scraping them.

Quick decision guide

• You know the technology, not the place: pick the topic tag first, then scan all regions.
• You know the place, not the technology: pick region and country first, then scan the topic tags represented.
• You need to attend remotely: apply the Online format filter before anything else.
• You need accessibility support: use the sign-language/captions filter and still confirm with the organizer, since the listing reflects what was submitted.
• You want to speak: go via Call for Papers and check the event's own CFP deadline, which the directory does not track in detail.
