python_hk_event_search allows you to search for Hong Kong events from various event platforms with a single command. It filters out events that occur during working hours and the topics you are not interested in, saving you time and effort.
This project is part of the Presentation at Open Source Hong Kong.
Check out the presentation slide to see the motivation for this project:

- Fetch events from Eventbrite, Luma, Meetup, GDG HK, HKU, CityU, PolyU, and HKBU.
- Filter for events during non-working hours, in person, free, not sold out, and the categories you are interested in.
- Filter out topics by keywords in their titles by modifying
title_filter_configin themain.py. - Easy to use and extend.
UV is recommended to initialize the Python environment (in case you prefer Conda: run_with_conda.md):
uv sync
uv run python main.pyThe print result will look like this (you can further filter titles by keywords such as "AI"):

At the Open Source Hong Kong presentation, I concluded by highlighting a key limitation of AI : AI cannot generate truly new ideas or innovations. AI only produces data based on patterns it has learned, which is why communities like ours are essential for sparking creativity and fresh perspectives.
To further support the local IT community, I created a WhatsApp Community dedicated to sharing after-work tech events in Hong Kong. If you enjoy tech meetups and knowledge sharing, feel free to join:
Our community member has developed a cool website that aggregates tech events in Hong Kong, and you can check it out here: devs.hk.
Feel free to share, star, fork the project, and submit pull requests (e.g., to add more event platforms or update APIs).
For any questions or suggestions, please open an issue or start a GitHub Discussions.
