 # Conference Scout
 
-A scheduled cloud agent (Claude Code "routine") that searches the web every Monday morning for conferences, trade shows, seminars, and networking events relevant to TXproducts, and produces a report for manual review. It does not write to this repo, any calendar, or any file — a person reviews its report and decides what to add to the Opportunities tab's Events list themselves.

           <div class="opp-scout-note"><strong>Verification note:</strong> this run's sandbox blocked direct fetches to every official event site (even neutral test domains), so dates and locations below are cross-referenced across multiple independent search sources rather than confirmed on the primary page — double-check the official site before committing budget or travel. This is a fresh worldwide sweep (12 candidates, replacing the previous Europe-only list) spanning Asia, the Americas, Africa, and Europe, tagged "Existing focus area" or "Potential new business (defense)" per TXproducts' corrected scope: semiconductors/power electronics (GaN/SiC), X-ray optics, photon/nanoscience, synchrotron/beamline science, and defense/aerospace prospecting.</div>
