So Hi! I'm Nikhil, teen entrepreneur, web developer, and event fanatic. Happy to drop EventsBase today as an attempt to build something that can be truly useful to anyone looking to find professional events near them or anywhere around the world (conferences, retreats, summits, etc). For me, it was scratching an itch of finding the best "professional" events, rather than the jumble of other informal events you can find on several other sites. EventsBase looks to bring a curated solution to this. To kick it off, the focus is going to be on Tech and Business in terms of the types of events you'll see on the site. This fits under an umbrella of web development/design, anything to do with business, Big Data, IoT, and a lot more. Right now, this platform is invite only in terms of people who can post conferences, but to start off, simply submit an event at http://eventsbase.co/submit and you'll more than likely see it pop up on the site!
In terms of who can find value in this product, event-goers and event organizers. Event-goers can simply visit this site anytime they'd like to find the best professional events while organizers can get their events discovered with the potential of more ticket buyers, speakers, and companies interested in sponsoring. Event Organizers also have an opportunity to get more eyes on their event if they sign up for EventsBase+, which you can learn more about here http://eventsbase.co/eventsbase-....
And that should be it! Follow @EventsBaseco on Twitter to get updates on events that are being added to the platform and for more announcements. In the meantime visit EventsBase.co and login to give a "Like" to an event that you may be interested in attending or simply following (and check out your profile to see your previous likes). 🎉
Thanks for posting Kiki!
@soroushg_ Thanks Soroush! Right now, it's going to be crowd-sourced to really keep that curation aspect. Glad you dig the design and the concept, I hope you find some events that you're interested in! 👍
every year i find out about a new event or conference that i had no idea about before. think this is a solution 😄 is there a play on the ticket sales or other value adds for interacting with the platform? look forward to watching it grow ⬆️⬆️⬆️
@jaronrayhinds Hey Jaron! Right now, the goal of the platform is to really help conferences get seen! What I am looking at doing in the near future is working a bit with the Likes system and how the interactions work to only further increase the amount of people that see the conferences, so the focus is really on how many eyes event organizers can get on their conferences and leading the user straight to buying tickets. Thanks for tagging along the journey, if you have any(more) conferences you'd like to see on the platform, submit them up!

Hey Nikhil, it looks good. I have used Lanyrd (http://lanyrd.com/), and even Conferize (https://www.conferize.com/) is comprehensive although Conferize helps you create event pages too. So, how EventsBase is different from, say Lanyrd?
@vingar Hey, Thanks for the nice comment! And that's a great question! So EventsBase is supposed to really focus on one topic: event discovery in tech and business. This eliminates small network events, casual get togethers, etc. The focus is really on larger and more premium events with plenty of attendees, a built-up schedule/agenda, and overall, just more formal. Lanyrd is a bit of a mix of stuff and while EventsBase definitely is similar, the event discovery is much more targeted and is redesigned to be more curated, elegant, and fun to use, rather than just a straight directory list of different events happening around the world. EventsBase focuses on a large single list of events, but something that's easy to filter whether you're nearby or just looking for a cool event going on around the world. Overtime, the goal is to really focus on the "social" aspect of events better than anything else that does now, so more on that soon.
Otherwise, another big difference really comes down to curation. It's not a free for all directory where anyone can post anything but rather something people can rely on to find the perfect events with just enough info to get them interested as well. Hopefully that clears it up a bit!
Nikhil's event-finding platform sounds really useful to me--I'm always hearing about events after they've happened. Of course, as with any user generated content platform, he needs some participation to really make it work -- so I suggested a few events, and you should, too! 👍
