What to expect over the two talk days?

We pack our two main conference days with a wide range of content, ensuring there's something for everyone. With three distinct tracks running simultaneously, you can curate your own experience and jump between sessions that spark your interest.

Day One: A Dive into Development The first day is all about the craft. Expect three tracks packed with talks covering everything from frontend and backend to DevOps, mobile, and game development. It’s a fantastic opportunity to sharpen your skills and see what (& how) your peers across the industry are building.

Day Two: Broadening Horizons On the second day, the tracks evolve to cover the wider world of tech:

  • The Dev Track: Continues our deep dive into the technical topics at the core of our industry
  • Panels: Your chance to get interactive! This track moves beyond a single speaker, featuring lively panel discussions on the big topics in tech today
  • The Business & Career Track: Explores the world of startups, strategy, and professional growth. If you're interested in building a company or navigating your career path, this track is for you.

Our goal is to create a program where, as one past attendee noted, the talks are "accessible" and interesting, no matter your background. It's all about learning together in a supportive environment


Networking Events

The evening socials are included with all multi-day tickets. The community dinner is a popular add-on with limited seats, so we recommend booking early to avoid disappointment.
