Konferencja DevConf 2017

Conference for Professional Software Developers

DevConf is one of Poland's premier annual conferences dedicated to software development. It's based on principles we believe are the success factors of an ultimate conference experience:

• inspiration - regardless of technology, achieved by exchanging ideas
• learning - as a process occuring at talks but also during informal conversations
• focus on people and interactions - conference is about excellent sessions and great networking opportunities, we're eager to provide both

If you are looking for a technology agnostic software development conference with high-level inspirational talks, deep dives into certain subjects, live coding sessions and plenty of networking time, make sure to book 14-15th of September 2017 and come to Kraków, Poland.
