Show HN: A platform to find tech conferences, discounts, and ticket giveaways

I created a platform that compiles tech conferences in one place - not just the when and where, but also the best discount codes and free ticket giveaways! Feedback and suggestions are welcome as I continue to refine it.

hi OP! i run the AI Engineer conference which is coming up soon and was pleasantly surprised to see this here :)

HOWEVER this link: https://www.tech.tickets/event/ai-engineering-world-fair-a9a...

links to the WRONG conference!!!! it is at https://ai.engineer/ and tickets are at https://ti.to/software-3/ai-engineer-worlds-fair-2025

discounts do exist for loyal latent.space listeners and ainews subscribers but i wont make them that easy :)

(for those who are between jobs and just getting into AI Eng, here's a good one for you: HNEXPO - we put all talks up on youtube on a delay: https://www.youtube.com/@aidotengineer but really the value is the live interactions/hallwaytrack )

I would expect it to get my location and be able to sort by the distance. And also to sort by time. So I can see the closest and the nearest.

Great domain, and great idea!

I've been looking for something like this for a while, I usually take a look at the lu.ma featured page but not everything is in there, hope one day your tool hast all of them.

Congrats on the launch!

Nice idea. But I can’t navigate the site on my phone. For example: I try to press on any ”want ticket” link (I think it is a link since it is coloured and underlined) but my browser just selects it as regular text. Same with both Firefox and Safari.

Nice idea. Balkans Crypto shows up under the North America tab. It's in Tirana, Albania.

Looks great. Only suggestion I have would be to be able to search by multiple properties- city and technology are the two that come to mind.

Best way to get free tickets is to ask the sponsoring vendors/companies directly I've found - can play either the 'I'm a current customer' card, or the 'I'm considering your solution seriously' card.

Have gotten many free tickets, dinners, sports tix, etc that way over the years!

How exactly do you contact them and ask? Can you give an example

Sales people are always happy to talk to you. :)

Sure, but why would a sales person give me a free ticket to a conference? Am I going to come by their booth and buy something?
