Inclusion, Diversity & Accessibility

New faces and a diverse speaker line-up:
devcom strives to give visibility to new speakers and companies as well as maintain abroad diversity of topics and speaker backgrounds when putting together the conference program.
Access for everyone:
devcom teams up with selected communities to provide tickets at reduced prices. However, not everyone is able to attend #ddc2024 on site, whether for financial, travel or other reasons. To give these groups the best experience possible at devcom Developer Conference, we make sure that our program, matchmaking services and expo are also available online for our digital pass holders. Digital passes are priced as reasonably as possible.
