The problem it solves

Finding out what events are coming up in your industry means checking a handful of different websites over and over. It is easy to miss something relevant, and keeping a running list by hand takes time you would rather spend elsewhere.

Who it fits

Event planners, community managers, and marketing teams who need to track industry events.

How it works

  1. Runs on a regular schedule you set
  2. Scans event listing websites for new events matching your criteria
  3. Pulls out dates, locations, and descriptions for each event
  4. Saves the results into a structured spreadsheet
What you get

A running list of events worth attending

You get a running spreadsheet of upcoming industry events pulled from listing sites on the schedule you set.

What you get

An organized, up-to-date spreadsheet of relevant upcoming events.

What you need

A web scraping data provider and a Google account for storing results.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
