The list of conferences is difficult to scan for anything that may actually be relevant for you, since there is no easy way to identify when or where an event will take place. Some events include this info in their descriptions, some do not.
It would be great to just have date and location listed under the headline on the conferences page, and also have date and location listed right on the start page under the titles of the conferences. Then you can quickly see if the events may actually be relevant to you.
The homepage could also do with some indication that there may be more than the 3 events listed, as it's not clear the headline is actually a link to viewing more conferences.
