Event Signals

Extract leads from the conference and events ecosystem. Events represent public declarations of priorities — a VP speaking about "scaling our infrastructure" is a stronger signal than a Reddit comment, and a company sponsoring a conference category has committed real budget.

When to Use

User wants to find leads from conferences, meetups, or developer events
User wants speaker lists, sponsor lists, or attendee data from events
User mentions KubeCon, AWS re:Invent, DevOpsDays, or any industry conference
User wants to find people who spoke or presented about relevant topics
User asks about hackathon participants using relevant technologies
User wants podcast guests who discussed relevant challenges
User describes prospects who attend industry events or speak at conferences

Prerequisites

Python 3.9+ with requests and optionally python-dotenv
Apify API token in .env (for Meetup and Luma — optional)
ListenNotes API key in .env as LISTENNOTES_API_KEY (for podcast search — optional, free tier gives 300 req/mo)

Phase 1: Collect Context

Step 1: Gather Product & ICP Information

If not already available from prior skills:

"To find the right event-based leads, I need:

1. What does your product do? (one-liner)

2. What industry/vertical are you in? (this determines which conferences matter)

3. What technologies or keywords are in your space?

4. Who is your ideal buyer? (their role, what conferences they'd attend)

5. Any specific conferences or events you know about? (names, URLs)

6. Are you registered on Luma or Meetup for any events? (if yes, we may be able to access attendee lists)"

Phase 2: Discover Relevant Events

This is the most agent-driven phase. The agent must actively research to find the right events.

Step 2: Discover Conferences

Use multiple approaches in parallel:

2a. Confs.tech (automated): The tool can query confs.tech for conferences by topic. Common topics available: devops, javascript, ruby, python, golang, rust, java, php, css, data, security, ux, android, ios, general, dotnet, elixir, networking, cloud, ai.

2b. Web search (agent-driven): Search for conferences in the user's space. Queries to try:

"[industry/technology] conferences 2026"
"[technology] developer conference"
"[vertical] summit 2026"
"best [topic] conferences for engineers"
"[competitor name] conference" (competitors often host their own events)

2c. Check for Sessionize events: Many tech conferences use Sessionize for their schedule. When you find a conference:

Check if their schedule page links to Sessionize
Look for URLs like sessionize.com/api/v2/EVENTID in the page source
If Sessionize is used, note the event ID — we can extract all speakers programmatically

2d. Check for upcoming events (forward-looking 180 days): Search for events happening in the next 6 months. The user wants to reach prospects BEFORE the event.

Search: "[conference name] 2026 dates"
Check conference websites for published schedules and speaker announcements
CFP (Call for Papers) deadlines indicate upcoming conferences

2e. Check for recent events (backward-looking 90 days): Recent event speakers/sponsors still have the same priorities. Search for:

"[conference name] 2025 2026 speakers"
"[conference name] recap" or "what I learned at [conference]"

Step 3: Discover Meetups and Local Events

3a. Meetup.com (automated): Generate search queries based on the user's space:

Technology-specific: "Kubernetes meetup", "WebRTC meetup"
Industry-specific: "DevOps meetup", "cloud native meetup"
Location-specific (if user has a target geography)

3b. Luma (automated via matyascimbulka/luma-event-scraper): Search Luma for events by category and city. The Luma actor accepts slugs (categories) and cities instead of free-text search.

Available categories: tech, food, ai, arts, climate, fitness, wellness, crypto
City slugs: san-francisco, new-york, london, etc.
Luma is popular for: AI/ML community events, startup demo days, developer community gatherings, tech talks and fireside chats

3c. Ask the user about their registrations:

"Are you registered for any events on Luma or Meetup? If you're registered for a Luma event, the attendee list is often publicly visible — I can extract it. For some Meetup events, RSVP lists are public too."

Step 4: Discover Podcasts

4a. Identify relevant podcasts: Do a web search to find podcasts in the user's space:

"[technology/industry] podcast"
"best podcasts for [role/topic]"
"[competitor name] podcast" (competitors often appear as guests)

4b. Search for specific episodes: Use ListenNotes to search for episodes by keyword:

"[competitor] review" or "[competitor] experience"
"[problem space] challenges"
"[technology] at scale"
"building [thing the product does]"

Step 5: Discover Hackathons

5a. Devpost: Search Devpost for hackathons with projects using relevant technologies:

Go to devpost.com and search for hackathon names in the user's space
Note the hackathon slug (URL path) for the tool to scrape

5b. Other hackathon platforms:

MLH season events (mlh.io/seasons)
Company-hosted hackathons (many companies run their own)
University hackathons (if targeting younger engineers)

Step 6: Present Discovery Results

Present all discovered events to the user in a table:

CONFERENCES (Sessionize available):
  Event                    | Date         | Location      | Sessionize ID
  KubeCon NA 2026          | Oct 13-16    | Salt Lake City| abc123
  DevOpsDays NYC           | Jun 5-6      | New York      | def456

CONFERENCES (need website scraping):
  Event                    | Date         | URL
  AWS re:Invent            | Nov 30-Dec 4 | reinvent.awsevents.com

MEETUP QUERIES: "kubernetes meetup", "cloud native meetup"
LUMA CATEGORIES: "tech", "ai"  |  CITIES: "san-francisco", "new-york"
PODCAST QUERIES: "kubernetes scaling", "infrastructure challenges"
DEVPOST HACKATHONS: "cloud-native-hack-2026", "kubernetes-challenge"

Ask the user to review and approve. Also ask if they want to add or remove any events.

Step 7: Scrape Conference Websites (Agent-Driven)

For conferences NOT on Sessionize, the agent should manually extract:

Speaker lists:

Navigate to the conference website's "Speakers" or "Schedule" page
Extract: speaker name, company, title, talk title, bio
Use Chrome DevTools MCP or web fetching tools

Sponsor lists:

Navigate to the "Sponsors" or "Partners" page
Extract: company name, sponsorship tier (platinum/gold/silver/bronze)
Higher tiers = more invested in the space

Save scraped data to ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../.tmp/manual_event_signals.json in this format:

[
    {
        "person_name": "Jane Smith",
        "company": "Acme Corp",
        "signal_type": "conference_speaker",
        "signal_label": "Conference Speaker",
        "event_name": "KubeCon NA 2026",
        "event_type": "Conference",
        "talk_or_role": "Scaling Kubernetes to 10,000 Nodes",
        "bio": "VP of Infrastructure at Acme Corp",
        "url": "https://kubecon.io/speakers/jane-smith",
        "linkedin": "",
        "twitter": "@janesmith",
        "website": "",
        "date": "2026-10-14",
        "source": "Manual"
    }
]

Phase 3: Execute Scan

Step 8: Save Config File

cat > ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../.tmp/event_signals_config.json << 'CONFIGEOF'
{
    "keywords": ["kubernetes", "cloud native", "infrastructure"],
    "sessionize_event_ids": ["abc123", "def456"],
    "confstech_topics": ["devops", "cloud"],
    "meetup_queries": ["kubernetes meetup", "cloud native meetup"],
    "meetup_location": "",
    "luma_categories": ["tech", "ai"],
    "luma_cities": ["san-fran
