Calendar feeds
Subscribe once and deadlines appear in your calendar as they are added. These URLs are permanent; the files behind them are rebuilt whenever the site is.
The feeds

- events.ics — when the conferences actually meet, for

dates. The one most people want.
planning travel.
Each covers everything upcoming plus the past year. Every conference also has its own feed, linked from its page, covering all its recorded editions.
How to subscribe
Use subscribe to calendar, not import: importing copies the events once and they never update again.
- Apple Calendar — File, New Calendar Subscription, paste the URL
- Google Calendar — Other calendars, +, From URL
- Thunderbird — New Calendar, On the Network, iCalendar (ICS)
- Outlook — Add calendar, Subscribe from web
Clients typically refresh a subscribed calendar every few hours to once a day. The feeds ask for twelve hours.
A word about times
Every entry is an all-day event, deliberately. A deadline is a moment, not a day, but writing it as a moment would impose a time zone on you — and "23:59 Anywhere on Earth" rendered in your local time is more likely to mislead than to help. The zone the organisers stated, or the fact that they stated none, is in the event description.
So: treat the day shown as the day the deadline falls, and check the exact hour on the conference's own page before relying on the last afternoon of it.
When a deadline moves
The event is updated in place rather than replaced, so an extension moves the entry already in your calendar instead of leaving a duplicate behind. That is what the site is for.
