Share This Post

Are you the type of person who always sees tech conferences on social media or search engines but never gets around to attending one? As you may know, attending tech conferences is an excellent way to improve your skills, gain valuable knowledge and insights, and stay up-to-date with the latest technologies and best practices. However, tech events can bring you more benefits than that and today we will show you! 

Top reasons to attend a tech conference

To do networking

This is probably the most obvious reason why people attend tech conferences. Networking is key to meeting other professionals in the industry, establishing relationships, building communities, and even asking for advice or getting the opinion of others on certain topics. By networking, you can increase your visibility in the industry and meet potential clients, partners, or investors.

To get motivated and inspired

Most tech conferences invite speakers with a long industry history or work at top companies. In addition to sharing their knowledge, these speakers also share stories of projects where they have failed or achieved success. These stories can inspire you and give you a boost of motivation, especially if you feel identified with them. 

To find your next job

Not happy with your current job? Tech conferences are sponsored by leading companies in the industry that offer their services and are also interested in meeting potential candidates to join their teams. You can have the chance to talk to them directly and learn more about the way they work, their benefits, and their expectations

The goal of tech conferences is for you to learn, but not everything is technical content. In addition to talks and workshops, tech conferences offer other activities so that attendees can have a good time and have fun.

Confs.Tech

An open-source and crowd-sourced directory of conferences around software development. Just like the one mentioned above, Confs.Tech allows you to filter by continent, technology, or modality. If you cannot move from your country, you can find many online events worth attending.

Conference Locate

An international event and venue search engine. Their goal is to simplify the search for events near you and relevant to you.

A directory focused solely on technology and programming events. Filtering in this directory is a bit limited, you can filter by continent but not by country or technology. They have hundreds of interesting events!
