Beacon

Overview

Free, open-source event-discovery platform that aggregates tech, AI and developer events from multiple curated sources into one Hebrew-friendly dashboard with list and calendar views.

The Challenge

Finding the next relevant conference, meetup, or workshop usually means checking dozens of sites and newsletters. Beacon aggregates events from multiple curated sources, normalizes the data, and presents everything in one clean list or calendar view.

The Solution

Past events are purged automatically, so the feed never fills up with stale listings, and the UI has full Hebrew RTL support for the Israeli tech community it was originally built for.
