More than 1,500 developers from around the Midwest converged on the City of Fountains Thursday as part of the Kansas City Developers Conference Center.
Now in its eighth year, the KCDC has steadily grown over the years into one of the area’s largest techie gatherings. With a focus on building the Kansas City community, the conference features loads of workshops, panel discussions and opportunities to connect with area techies.
More than 80 speakers — from CTOs and educators to tech founders and civic leaders — from around the world will engage with developers as part of the conference. Topics range from emerging trends in technology to developing an effective professional network, but each aim to offer attendees valuable information on how to become proficient and connected with Kansas City.
