Do something like this, but actually working:<p><pre><code>  https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;justinclift&#x2F;EventsMap
</code></pre>
So a person can see what events are happening in a specific area, in a given time range.  It should be:<p><pre><code>  * Visual, using a map service background like the above
  * Have time range slider (indicting start and stop of time range)
  * Use the public data sets of conference&#x2F;events.  There are a few around that show
    up with simple searching:
      * O&#x27;Reillys has this: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;feeds.feedburner.com&#x2F;oreilly&#x2F;events
      * Red Hat has this: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;OSAS&#x2F;rh-events
      * Eventbrite likely has relevant feeds too (lots of data)
</code></pre>
For a revenue source, you could look at adding planning capabilities into it, direct booking, and reminders.  Potentially also group bookings, and&#x2F;or fees for usage.<p>For companies that want to send X number of devs to conferences over the next 6-12 months, having a good system to know which ones to go to, and accurately track&#x2F;remind&#x2F;etc people... is worth money.<p>Maybe not super rich quantities... but it&#x27;s unlikely negligable either. :)
