What is Events Directory?
A startup events directory lists the conferences, accelerators, pitch competitions and networking events founders can apply to or attend. The Nautis Events directory is curated by the Nautis team. You sort it by Featured, Upcoming, Deadline Soon or Recent, filter by event type, industry and country, open an event for its key dates and description, and click through to the organizer's site to apply or register.
Accelerator deadlines are easy to miss because nobody announces them twice. A founder hears about a programme from a friend three days after applications closed. The directory's most useful lens is Deadline Soon, which puts the closest application deadlines first, and the orange Deadline badge on each card shows the next important date at a glance.
Open any card and a panel slides in with the full picture: an About section from the organizer, the Industries covered, a Key Dates card with event dates, the application open date and the deadline (with an N days left badge when it's close), and the Organizer. The footer button tells you where you stand: Apply Now while applications are open, Visit Event when there's no formal deadline, and a disabled Applications Closed once it has passed.
This is a directory, not a ticketing system. Registration, payment and confirmation all happen on the organizer's site. Your click is recorded so the organizer can see how popular the listing is, and no personal data is shared with them through that click. Once you're in, the work moves to the rest of Nautis: the pitch in the AI voice coach, the follow-ups in your CRM.

Use cases
How startups use Events Directory
Planning the accelerator season
In the first week of each quarter, choose Deadline Soon, filter Event Type to accelerator and Country to where you can relocate. Copy each deadline into your calendar or a task board with a due date a week earlier, so the application isn't written the night before.
Finding a pitch competition in your sector
Filter Industry to your sector and search "pitch" in Search Events, which matches titles, organizers and description keywords. Active filters show as pills, so you can drop one at a time to widen the list.
Sending a cofounder one event to look at
Open the event and copy the URL from your address bar. It carries the event's ID, so your cofounder lands on the same details panel, as long as they have access to Events in your organization.
Choosing which conference is worth a flight
Switch to List view, sort by Upcoming and compare dates, countries and industries side by side. The Performance card on each event shows how many views and clicks the listing has had, a rough sign of how much interest the listing is getting.

A startup events directory vs event platforms vs word of mouth
No single list has every event. Use the directory for a scan of what's closing soon, and keep your own network for the small invite-only dinners no list will ever show.
| Need | Word of mouth and newsletters | Nautis Events directory | Ticketing or event platforms |
|---|---|---|---|
| Accelerators and competitions alongside conferences | Patchy | Yes, curated by the Nautis team | Mostly ticketed events |
| Sort by closest application deadline | No | Deadline Soon | Varies |
| Filter by event type, industry and country | No | Yes | Usually by location and date |
| Register or buy tickets | On the organizer's site | On the organizer's site | Yes, in the platform |
| Add your own event | Tell people | No. Suggest one to support | Yes, as an organizer |
| Invite-only and local meetups | Often the only source | Unlikely | Some |
Plans and limits
- Events is available to anyone whose role has read access to the module, if your organization has it enabled. See pricing for plan details.
What Events Directory doesn't do
- The list is curated. You can't add your own events, though you can suggest one to support.
- Deadlines are the dates the organizer published. If an organizer extends a deadline, the directory may not show it yet, so check their site before giving up on a closed listing.
- There's no one-click calendar export. Copy dates into your calendar by hand.
- No RSVP, tickets or confirmations inside Nautis. Everything after the click happens with the organizer.
- Coverage depends on what the Nautis team has added, so check your local ecosystem's own channels too.
Events Directory questions
How do I find accelerator deadlines in one place?+
Open Events, choose the Deadline Soon tab and set Event Type to accelerator. Events with the closest application deadlines appear first, and an N days left badge shows on the details panel when a deadline is near.
Can I send a teammate a link to one event?+
Yes. When you open an event, the URL updates with the event's ID. Copy it and paste it into chat or email, and anyone in your organization with access to Events lands on the same details panel.
Can I view events as a list instead of cards?+
Yes. Use the toggle in the top-right to switch between Grid and List. Sorting and filtering happen in your browser once the list has loaded, so changes feel instant.
Does the organizer see who clicked Apply Now?+
Your click is counted so the organizer can see how popular the listing is, but no personal data is shared with them through that click. What you enter on their application form is between you and them.
Can I RSVP to an event inside Nautis?+
No. Nautis lists events and links you out to each organizer's own registration or application page. Sign-ups, ticket purchases, and confirmations happen on their site.
Can I add an event to my calendar?+
There is no one-click calendar export in the events directory yet. The simplest workaround is to copy the dates from the event details panel into your calendar app manually.
Where do these events come from?+
The Nautis team curates the list. If you would like to suggest an event for the directory, contact support.
I cannot see Events in my sidebar — why?+
Either your organization admin has not enabled the feature for your workspace, or your role does not have read permission. Ask an admin to give you access to the Events module.
An event shows 'Applications Closed' but I think it is still open. What should I do?+
Click Visit Event if it appears, or go directly to the organizer's website. The deadline date on the listing is the one the organizer published — if they have extended it, the directory may not be updated yet.
Are deadlines real-time?+
Deadlines are the dates organizers published, and Deadline Soon surfaces what's closing first. If an organizer extends a deadline, the directory may not show it yet, so check their site.
Can I add an event?+
Currently the directory is curated by Nautis to keep quality high.
