Love the site - really useful resource. A few suggestions for additional columns that I'd like to see:
CoC - does the conf have a Code of Conduct or an explicit diversity policy?
Commercial - Is this a commercial or community conf?
Transparent Finances - does the conf publish its finances?
Compensates Speakers - does the conf compensate its speakers? If so, to what level - travel & accom or speaking fees as well?
As a speaker, knowing these details matters. I am more than prepared to speak at a small community conf that's getting started & can't afford to pay my expenses. A commercial conf that presents itself as a community event whilst not paying speakers & making a large profit - not so much.
