Who you’ll meet at Technical.ly’s free, hybrid Developers Conference

As part of Philly Tech Week 2022, mid- to senior-level technologists will come together to learn from a bevy of industry leaders, plus interact in small group settings.

Technical.ly's Developers Conference is back. (Technical.ly image)
At Technical.ly, we’re flipping the idea of a conference on its head, making “presenter” and “audience” a thing of the past.

Instead, we’re offering the opportunity for deep reflection as well as consultation and discussion on an array of languages, environments and styles. Are you a mid- to senior-level technologist and interested? You’re in luck.

Not only is this year’s Technical.ly Developers Conference as part of the 12th annual Philly Tech Week presented by Comcast fast approaching on Tuesday, May 10, but it’s free, includes asynchronous offerings, and carries no expectation that you will hold your burning questions until the end. We like to wrap up with happy hour instead.

RSVP for the free Developers Conference

Our pre-recorded technical talks from leading experts will be shared with your free registration. Listen on your own time to real case studies out of fast-growth startups, experimental projects and at-scale corporate giants. Dive into what interests you and leave the rest.

Here’s what some of that pre-recorded programming will address:

Then, on Tuesday, May 10, join us in Philadelphia for the in-person, small group discussions. Take a look at the full programming schedule and what those facilitators have planned for their huddle sessions:
