Scope

Track:

• conferences, summits, retreats, keynotes, panels, firesides, workshops, university talks, high-signal private rooms
• calendar holds that look like speaking commitments
• email invites where Peter expressed interest, declined, or needs to respond

Do not track in the conference list:

• podcasts
• press interviews
• generic networking dinners without a speaking/event ask
• vague intro calls with no event or audience

Talks and firesides are welcome. Do not delete them just because they are not classic conferences.

Evaluation

Score with these heuristics:
