Abstract: Each year, hundreds of economics conferences, workshops, and seminars take place around the world. For researchers, timely access to clear information-especially regarding calls for papers and special issues-is essential to target the right venues and improve their chances of publication. Organizers also benefit from reaching the right contributors to maintain the quality and relevance of their events. ConfWatcher is a tool designed specifically for economists to meet this need. It combines web scraping, text analysis and generative artificial intelligence via large language models (LLMs) to automatically identify and monitor relevant academic events. The platform focuses on high-quality conferences organized by central banks, international organizations, journals, research centers, and professional associations. With its simple and userfriendly interface, ConfWatcher helps economists stay informed, plan submissions more strategically, and connect with the most valuable opportunities in their field.
