I don't think anyone involved in organizing BeerConf knew that was

I'd suggest that it is either removed or replaced with something more
informative, so that people know what is coming and what events that
have taken place. The only reason I noticed is because I was looking for
prospective D events, and went to the most obvious place.
To a stranger a calendar like that gives the impression that nothing has
been happening in the community and there is no interaction within the D
community, or outreach.
It's been removed: https://github.com/dlang/dlang.org/pull/3451
There should also be details of DConf and such things. I'd contrast this
with the Rust community page and calendar.
Right now I don't even know how to find out about DConf from the dlang
website. I might get lucky and find out through Twitter or something,
but if I didn't know it existed, it would be pretty difficult for me to
find out.
Don't underestimate the power of FOMO! If on the events page you're
seeing pictures and details of things from the conference and events
you've missed, for those interested (and there will be some) it will
make them more determined to take part next time.
Typically, we do have information on the home page for dconf when it is
coming up. Considering it's just over a month away, there should be
something there soon.
