I realize this might not be your goal, but any chance you would consider targeting some features toward academics? Academic conferences are horrible to keep track of, and this seems like it might almost be a great solution.
The missing pieces, as I see them, include more structured programs (i.e., the sessions have titles; the speakers are listed even if they're not on Lanyrd or even Twitter) and the ability to follow series of conferences (i.e., I want to know what happens at OOPSLA every year, not just once).
- simonw 16y agoWe're absolutely interested in solving that kind of problem. We have upcoming support for sessions and schedules which should help out there (preview at http://lanyrd.com/2009/full-frontal/schedule/ http://lanyrd.com/2009/full-frontal/schedule/ - regular users can't add those yet though). We're also going to add support for CfPs and other deadlines related to conferences - at which point "tracking" a conference will actually be useful.
