Stop missing the AI events worth showing up for.
The good ones sell out in hours — and half of them never touch the calendar you're watching. Here's the system that puts them on your radar first.
You're pulling. You should be subscribed.
Browsing one or two calendars is a pull habit — you only find events on the days you happen to look, from the one source you happen to check.
And that single source only ever shows one of the three different kinds of AI events. The conferences with early-bird pricing and the vendor meetups — the ones you have to book weeks ahead — live somewhere else entirely.
Three kinds of events. Each hides in a different place.
Once you can name the three buckets, it's obvious why one calendar was never going to catch them all.
Community meetups
LangChain, AI Tinkerers, GenAI & agent nights, GDG. Free, hands-on, capped rooms that fill fast.
Lives on Luma & MeetupFlagship conferences
Cypher, DataHack Summit, MLDS, Inc42 AI Summit. The real "book early or pay 3×" events — early-bird tiers close months ahead.
Rarely on Luma at allVendor / company events
BrowserStack, AWS, Google, Microsoft roadshows & conclaves. High signal, free — and your biggest blind spot.
Only on the vendor + LinkedInA push-based stack. Set it once, events come to you.
Four channels, each aimed at a bucket the others miss. About twenty minutes total, then it runs on autopilot.
Luma — follow, don't browse catches type 01
Browsing Luma is still pulling. Following a host's Calendar and subscribing to your city + the AI category flips it to push: you get emailed on every new event and pinged the moment registration opens.
Do: Follow the key BLR hosts, subscribe to the Bengaluru page + AI category, turn on notifications.
Meetup — join the groups catches type 01
Joining a Meetup group auto-emails you every time it posts. Zero ongoing effort — the reminder lands in your inbox.
Do: Join LangChain Bengaluru, Bangalore AI Developers, AI & ML, GDG Cloud Bengaluru.
LinkedIn — your vendor radar catches type 03
This is the fix for the events you miss most. B2B vendors promote almost entirely on LinkedIn — follow the companies and watch the Events tab filtered to your city.
Do: Follow BrowserStack, AWS, Google Cloud India, Microsoft; check LinkedIn Events weekly.
Aggregators + one newsletter catches type 02
The book-early conferences are planned far ahead — so watch a listing that looks far ahead. One good newsletter covers most flagship early-bird windows.
Do: Bookmark dev.events & confs.tech; subscribe to Analytics India Magazine.
