The attributes folder contains JSON files representing boolean attributes of conferences editions, such attributes should be kept as simple answers to questions like:

Which is represented as the kids-friendly.json file:

}Similarly to the attributes, the categories contains json files of the events categories, such as infosec.json:
{
"title": "InfoSec",
"description": "Information security."
}Events are represented as sub folders of the root events folder, each one having a main event.json file describing the main information of a conference:
