Technical Events Calendar

TECH EVENTS CALENDAR

The purpose of this calendar is to list events that may be of interest to TPGI team members either to speak at or to attend.

Individual event details are added or updated as information is received by the Knowledge Center.

They are listed as far ahead as possible to allow browsing for events of interest in time to submit proposals to speak, which are often required six months or more ahead of time.

The overall layout is a rolling format updated so that Upcoming Events for the next month are at the top.

After the furthest ahead Upcoming Events, there is a second section of Past Events, which may or may not be held again in the future.

The focus of the events in this calendar is, in order of priority:

  • Accessibility
  • Inclusive Design
  • Assistive Technology
  • Web Design
  • UI/UX
  • Front End Development
  • Web Development
  • Software Development
  • Digital Technology

Events that focus on specific brands, platforms, frameworks, operating systems, or devices are – with a few exceptions – beyond the scope of this calendar.
