Conferences

A community-curated list of Software Development conferences around Spain.

📊 Current Stats:

Repository Structure

The conferences are organized by event in separate directories within _conferences/. Each event has its own folder containing all the conference files for different years.

Structure Example:

_conferences/
├── t3chfest-madrid/
│   ├── t3chfest-madrid-2019.md
│   ├── t3chfest-madrid-2020.md
│   ├── t3chfest-madrid-2023.md
│   └── ...

Adding a Conference

For a New Event

1. Create a new directory in _conferences/ with the event name format: event-name-city/
2. Add the conference file inside that directory

For an Existing Event

1. Find the appropriate event directory in _conferences/
2. Add your conference file to that directory

File Naming Convention

Files should be named with the format: event-name-city-YYYY.md

For example:

• coolconf-madrid-2024.md (goes in _conferences/coolconf-madrid/)
• devfest-barcelona-2025.md (goes in _conferences/devfest-barcelona/)

File Template

The contents of the file should use the following template:

---
name: "CoolConf"
website: http://es.coolconf.com/2024/
twitter: https://x.com/coolconf/
location: Illescas, Toledo, Spain

date_start: 2024-10-18
date_end:   2024-10-30

cfp_start: 2024-06-20  # Optional
cfp_end:   2024-07-21  # Optional
cfp_site: http://es.coolconf.com/2024/call-for-papers/ # Optional, will default to website
---

Note: Do not include the location of the conference in the name. The above conference is often referred to as "Devfest Madrid", but we will always render the location with the name so it is redundant.
