DevFest Salt Lake City: Back to the Future of Tech

Ready to turbocharge your development skills and relive the iconic moments of tech’s evolution? This year’s DevFest Salt Lake City launches with a dynamic "Back to the Future" theme, celebrating the transformative arc of technology - from classic coding wisdom to the game-changing impact of artificial intelligence. Whether you’re a seasoned developer, a rising innovator, or simply passionate about the future of software, join us for a journey through decades of progress with a retro twist.

What to Expect

  • Four Focused Topics: We’re showcasing the most essential realms in modern development - Web, Mobile, AI, and Cloud. Talks and workshops will weave together the latest trends, timeless principles, and hands-on skills, all within the spirit of progression and curiosity. While our content highlights these four distinct areas, you’ll experience a seamless program rather than separate tracks, letting you explore everything that moves our industry forward.

  • Engaging Sessions: Dive in through short talks (20 minutes), deep-dive explorations (50 minutes), and hands-on workshops designed to build skills, tackle real challenges, and share hard-won lessons from the trenches.

  • The Power of AI: Discover how artificial intelligence is revolutionizing every aspect of development, and why foundational knowledge - classic programming concepts and best practices - matter more than ever as the pace of innovation accelerates.

  • Practical Insights & Real Stories: Hear about the latest breakthroughs, learn from practical experiences, and get inspired by stories that draw connections between the past, present, and future of tech.

  • 80s Nostalgia: Expect playful references, music, and style from the decade of big hair and big dreams, infusing all sessions with fun and a sense of community. The conference theme brings energy and creativity, reminding us that moving forward means learning from every era.

Why Attend?

  • Expand your expertise in web, mobile, cloud, and AI development.

  • Engage with practical workshops and code labs for real-world impact.

  • Experience a unique blend of inspiration, education, and retro flair.

  • Connect with a vibrant community shaping the future of tech.

Join us at DevFest Salt Lake City and help shape tomorrow - one flux capacitor at a time!
