The goal of the Southern Developer Conference is to push software development, design, and technical leadership beyond basic conversations. An annual conference is a way to begin these discussions that will carry over to the developer and business communities to improve technical communication. It starts with this: one gathering of people talking and sharing ideas to improve themselves and their community.

Southern Developer Conference kicks off its inaugural event April 27, 2019, at the Georgia Cyber Center.

Bringing together top tech and cybersecurity professionals as well as business leaders to discuss emerging trends and formulate the best strategies for tackling current and future threats.

“The Southern Developer Conference was born out of a community of developers and technology
leaders and enthusiasts in the South, said Schuster Braun, Founder of Southern Developer Conference
and Code Boot Camp Instructor at the Clubhou.se, “Together we are building an inclusive community
that focuses on developing Southern economies through innovation, technical excellence and grit.”

Southern Developer Conference will feature keynote speakers and industry expert panels from national
and regional companies sharing their experience and knowledge with an audience targeted to professional software developers and enthusiasts, project managers, product owners, tech directors,
and Chief Technology Officers. Also, in attendance will be entrepreneurs and students from high school
and college who are in the cyber/IT space.
