As of today, LinkedIn is shutting down its LinkedIn Events application which has been a staple diet for business to business event organisers for some time, a product that delivered home page results on Google and had an audience ripe for growth.
YC-graduate startup Lanyrd hopes to fill the gap today by integrating with LinkedIn delivering new features and a better service previously supplied. LinkedIn users will be able to discover conferences and events based on their LinkedIn connections and profile information.
Lanyrd is carrying over 25,000 events from 100+ countries around the world. Lanyrd is a directory of conferences, events and speakers. Visitors can sign in with Twitter to see events their friends are attending or speaking at, submit new events, add talks that they have given and build up their speaker profile.
