Tech Conferences With Childcare

How it works

In the CodeNewbie Twitter chat tonight (4/5/2017), several people mentioned lack of childcare as a barrier for their attendance at tech conferences. I thought a list like this should exist, so I made one.

Make a PR to add a conference to the list! PRs also welcome to improve the template.

Instructions

  • use the below template
  • place your conference name under the corresponding country/continent
  • sort it alphabetically within that sublist
