## About Lanyrd

Lanyrd was a London-based social conference directory founded in 2010, designed to help users discover and track professional events and conferences.

Acquired by Eventbrite in 2013, Lanyrd offered a platform for finding conferences by topic or location, allowing users to see which events their network was attending or speaking at, and to follow real-time updates during conferences. The platform featured a web-based conference directory, social event pages, and profiles for speakers and attendees. Users could share schedules, track events, and access mobile apps. Lanyrd also provided a paid service called Lanyrd Pro, which catered to companies and professionals seeking branded speaker profiles, event promotion, and access to presentation materials. The service was aimed at conference attendees, speakers, organizers, and companies involved in tech conferences, helping them manage their conference presence and archive related content.
