I’m subscribed to a few newsletters and subreddits that help me keep up with what’s going on locally. There aren’t many conferences here in Chile, and traveling abroad to attend one is pretty expensive, so it’s not really an option. There are some meetups, and I’ve gone to a few, but they’re not really my thing.
These days I mostly just follow key people to stay up to date in different areas, and I also end up learning a lot from friends and coworkers.
