NWA TechFest's ANNUAL CONFERENCE - 2024
A conference that is “for developers, by developers.”
What does that mean? It means that our local Northwest Arkansas volunteers have organized a space and time for their community to come and share their knowledge and experience with their peers.
Come and join us for a low-stakes opportunity to engage with other software developers in the area.
Pay $5 for a seat, enjoy as much content as you want, and meet great people.
And remember to use any employer-provided professional development PTO!
