Planned Functions

Blog

Calendar: The Con-Techie team is currently looking into a calendar function / custom Joomla module that will interact with our current open source conference database.

It would be really super sweet if we can get our calendar to support multi-day functions, and play nice with Google Maps or OpenStreetMap.

It will be several months before calendar functionality appears on the site, but we'll keep you posted.

Radius Search: Search extension that allows users to find events within a certain distance of their current location.

My Events Module: Menu that allows users to track their added events & event favorites.
