What Information Each Conference Listing on Confs.tech Includes

Each listing on Confs.tech gives you the essentials to judge a conference quickly: the conference name, its location and date, topic tags, and often the organizer's social handle and a code of conduct link. Some listings also carry accessibility notes, such as interpretation into International Sign Language or closed captions. The site describes itself as an open-source, crowd-sourced list of software development conferences, and the page shows 165 conferences for 2026, so detail varies by listing rather than following one fixed template.

Core details in every listing

The minimum you can expect is enough to place the event on a calendar and a map:

• Conference name — the event title, e.g. "Mozilla Festival" or "Apidays Australia."
• Location and date — a city and country with a date range, such as "Barcelona, Spain · October 28-30," or "Online · October 29" for virtual events.
• Topic tags — short hashtag-style labels describing the subject matter.

These three fields are what the list view is built around, so you can scan a month's conferences without opening anything else.

Topic tags: what they tell you

Tags are the site's main classification tool. The page's filter counts show the range: Data / AI (50), General (30), JavaScript (18), Security (17), DevOps (15), Open Source (15), Java (10), Testing (9), and smaller categories down to single listings for C++, CSS, Golang, Groovy, Haskell, and Rust. Individual listings carry tags like # data, # sre, # graphql, # css, # product, # accessibility, # opensource, # networking, and # haskell.

A listing can have several tags, so a design-focused event may also appear under accessibility. Treat tags as the organizer's or contributor's description, not an official taxonomy.

Social handles and code of conduct links

Many listings include the organizer's social account — either a Twitter handle (e.g. @mozillafestival, @lambda_world, @WeyWeyWeb) or a Mastodon handle (e.g. @apidaysglobal). These are useful for checking for schedule updates or last-minute changes.

Where the listing shows a "Link to code of conduct · Code Of Conduct" entry, you can read the event's behavior policy before registering. Not every listing has one; its presence is a signal the organizers have published a policy you can review.

Accessibility notes

Some listings carry an explicit note: "Offers interpretation to International sign language or closed captions." Mozilla Festival and Wey Wey Web are examples on the current page. The site also exposes this as a filter ("Offers interpretation to International sign language or closed captions"), so you can narrow the list to events that state this support.

The absence of the note does not prove an event lacks accessibility support — it may simply not be recorded. If this matters to you, confirm with the organizers directly.

Location and format filters

Beyond the listing fields, the page's filter counts show how events break down geographically and by format:

A listing's location line reflects this: "Malaga, Spain & Online" for Wey Wey Web, or "Online" alone for Quality Forge. Use the format filter if you can only attend remotely.

What listings do not reliably include

Based on the page, do not assume every listing has a price, ticket link, full schedule, or speaker list. The visible fields are name, location, date, topics, social handle, code of conduct link, and accessibility note. Sponsored entries (such as ArchConf 2026) include a longer description, but that is promotional copy rather than a standard field.

Practical checklist before you commit

1. Confirm the date and whether the location is in-person, online, or hybrid.
2. Check the topic tags match your interests — and read the event's own site if the tags are broad, like "General."
3. Open the code of conduct link if one is listed.
4. Check the accessibility note if you need sign language or captions, and verify with organizers if it is missing.
5. Follow the listed social handle for updates, since the listing itself is crowd-sourced and may lag behind the organizer's announcements.

Because the list is community-maintained, treat each entry as a starting point and confirm logistics on the conference's official page before booking travel.
