Support for event metadata on event websites #266
Open
Description
Updated Example
Here is the most recent example of event metadata that I think we should recommend conference organizers to include on their conference website.
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
"@context": "https://schema.org",
"@type": "ConferenceEvent",
"name": "EuroPython 2025",
"url": "https://ep2025.europython.eu",
"startDate": "2025-07-14",
"endDate": "2025-07-20",
"location": {
"@type": "PostalAddress",
"name": "The Prague Congress Centre",
"addressCountry": "CZ"
},
"hasParticipationOffer": {
"@type": "Offer",
"name": "Call for Proposals",
"url": "https://ep2025.europython.eu/cfp/",
"availabilityEnds": "2025-02-03"
},
"hasSponsorshipOffer": {
"@type": "Offer",
"name": "Sponsor Packages",
"url": "https://ep2025.europython.eu/sponsorship/sponsor/"
}
}
</script>

Original Proposal
It would be great if there were a standardized way for an event website to provide machine-readable information about itself.
- Option 1: Use HTML meta tags on the event homepage
- Option 2: Use a JSON file such as https://us.pycon.org/2025/event.json
Is there a way that we could encourage event organizers to use one of the two options below?
Is there any other metadata that we should ask organizers to include?
Option 1: Use HTML meta tags on the event homepage
<meta name="event-name" content="PyCon US"> <meta name="event-start-date" content="2025年05月14日"> <meta name="event-end-date" content="2025年05月22日"> <meta name="event-location" content="Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States of America"> <meta name="event-country" content="USA"> <meta name="event-venue" content="David L. Lawrence Convention Center"> <meta name="event-proposal-deadline" content="2024年12月19日"> <meta name="event-proposal-uri" content="https://us.pycon.org/2025/speaking/guidelines/"> <meta name="event-sponsorship-uri" content="https://us.pycon.org/2025/sponsorship/why-sponsor/">
Option 2: Use a JSON file such as https://us.pycon.org/2025/event.json
{
"event-name": "PyCon US",
"event-start-date": "2025年05月14日",
"event-end-date": "2025年05月22日",
"event-location": "Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States of America",
"event-country": "USA",
"event-venue": "David L. Lawrence Convention Center",
"event-proposal-deadline": "2024年12月19日",
"event-proposal-uri": "https://us.pycon.org/2025/speaking/guidelines/",
"event-sponsorship-uri": "https://us.pycon.org/2025/sponsorship/why-sponsor/",
