hackevents.net
Hackevents.net is a free, web-based platform that aggregates tech events and hackathons, with a current focus on Switzerland and the DACH region. It lists 218 upcoming tech events in Switzerland, including hackathons, AI meetups, conferences, summits, workshops, and networking gatherings in cities such as Zurich, Geneva, Bern, Basel, Lausanne, Zug, Lugano, and St. Gallen. The platform is designed to be useful for both humans and AI agents, offering structured event data and an API for programmatic access. Events can be discovered through multiple navigation paths: by city, topic (AI/ML, robotics, quantum, web, security, DevOps/cloud, data, hardware, blockchain, biotech, startups, fintech, legal tech, product/design), seniority level, event kind, and date. A map view helps users explore events geographically, and comparison pages position hackevents.net against Luma, Meetup, and Eventbrite. The platform is updated daily and remains free, supported by partnerships with recruiting and tech community organizations. Users can browse events without an account, submit events for inclusion, subscribe to a newsletter, and access an API for integrating event data into other tools. The site also includes partner listings from organizations such as rockstar.jobs, techx.jobs, swissdevjobs.ch, Blue Lion, aiLights, and Groundshift. Overall, hackevents.net serves as a practical discovery layer for the tech event ecosystem in Switzerland and nearby regions.
