ConferenceFindr has launched via Show HN as a searchable directory of 5,841 upcoming business conferences, expos, and trade shows across 40 countries. The platform filters events by industry, location, date, and ticket price. It also includes an MCP integration, according to the launch listing.
The tool aggregates listings that are otherwise scattered across industry associations, venue sites, and ticketing platforms. Users can browse 19 industry categories, from aerospace and defense to technology and software. Date filters include the next 30 days, three months, six months, or 12 months, plus custom ranges.
Healthcare and life sciences leads the directory with 1,139 events, followed by technology and software at 889, general business at 732, and construction and real estate at 693. Smaller categories include packaging with 90 events and electronics and semiconductors with 178. Price filters cover free attendance, $500 or less, $1,000 or less, and $2,500 or less.
For attendees, the filters make it easier to compare free events against paid conferences and plan travel around nearby trade shows. For event marketers, the category counts reveal where gatherings cluster by industry and region. Popular searches include manufacturing events in the US over the next three months and packaging shows in Europe.
The MCP component suggests the data may be accessible to AI tools and agents, though the listing does not detail supported workflows. As a Show HN submission, ConferenceFindr will be judged on data quality, freshness, and openness. Its initial focus is clearly business-to-business event discovery rather than consumer entertainment.
The next challenge will be keeping thousands of listings current and expanding coverage beyond 40 countries. If the MCP integration matures, ConferenceFindr could become a structured source for event planning inside AI assistants and workflow tools. For now, it provides a consolidated starting point for professionals navigating upcoming expos and trade shows.
