DevConf started in 2017 as a way to bring the joy, networking, and education that the Developer User Group was doing in free meetups to a new audience. The first year was expected to be a small 250 person event... and it sold out at 500. DevConf in 2023 was 1242 people and took place in 2 cities with attendees and speakers from around the world. Each event has been something special and something different and we have this page to remember and celebrate the work of the community of South African software developers success in making DevConf what it is!
