Why would you need to provide a new one for each conference?

Why not provide calendar as a calendar file? What would you need beyond that?

Calendars aren't great as it's very intrusive to use them on a mobile device (as the conference gets mixed in with your actual appointments) and often the mobile calendaring apps aren't ideal for dealing with long form descriptions of appointments. That is a nice option to have, though.

Being able to share the same app between multiple conferences is of course good (and most of them actually do seem to use the same app).
