Technology events and conferences
Technology events range from broad flagship conferences covering everything from AI to cloud infrastructure, through focused trade exhibitions for a single sector, down to hands-on developer workshops and local meetups. Which one is worth your time depends on why you are going: exhibitions are built for meeting vendors, conferences for hearing where a field is heading, and workshops for leaving with a skill. This page lists upcoming technology events worldwide with their dates, venues and organizers, and you can narrow it to a single country or city.

Frequently asked questions
- What is the difference between a technology conference and an exhibition?
- A conference is built around a speaking programme — keynotes, panels and sessions. An exhibition is built around a show floor where companies demonstrate products, and any talks are secondary. Many large events run both together.
- How far in advance should I book a technology conference?
- Larger conferences price tickets in tiers and the cheapest are usually gone months ahead. If the event needs travel and a visa, working back from the date is worth doing early.
