A curated list of global events for creative coding, tech, design, music, and arts.
Awesome Creative Tech Events is a community-maintained, curated directory of global festivals, meetups, and conferences focused on the intersection of technology and creativity. It solves the problem of fragmented information by providing a centralized, open-source resource for discovering events in creative coding, digital art, music, design, and innovative tech. The project aims to democratize access to these communities by organizing events by region and type.
Artists, developers, designers, and enthusiasts specifically looking for in-person gatherings about creative coding, data visualization, electronic music, digital arts, and tech-driven design. It's for individuals seeking to connect with global communities at the intersection of art and technology.
Developers choose this over generic event lists because it offers a specialized, globally-scoped directory exclusively for creative tech, maintained by the community to ensure relevance. Its unique value is the detailed curation by region/country and the inclusion of diverse event formats—from local meetups to major festivals—all in one freely accessible resource.

Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Lists events across Europe, North America, Asia, and more, as shown in the Contents section, providing a wide reach for discovering gatherings worldwide.
Open for contributions via pull requests, allowing the list to stay current and expand with community input, per the README's emphasis on democratizing access.
Curated exclusively for intersections like creative coding, data visualization, and electronic music, making it a targeted resource not found in general event lists.
Organized by continent, country, and city, as seen in the Contents, enabling easy navigation and planning for specific locations.
Relies on manual pull requests for updates, so event information can become outdated or incomplete if not actively maintained by the community.
Some regions like Africa or parts of Asia are barely covered, with only Japan listed, indicating gaps in global representation that limit inclusivity.
No search, filter, or API functionality; users must manually browse the static README, which is cumbersome for large-scale event discovery.
