Developer Camp 2019

Developer Camp is a worldwide network of developers, designers, testers, and creative entrepreneurs that gather to support local communities of new entrepreneurs. Our mission is to increase inclusion, diversity, and equality in the technology sector.

Developer Camp

Developer Camp: The World's Best Hackathon
Square, Getaround, Temple Run, OAuth, TestFlight, push.io, and Zūm —each of these companies have foundations at Developer Camp over the past twelve years. 
Apple, Oracle, Google, Amazon, Disney, and Facebook have purchased companies following their participation in Developer Camp. You could be next.
It is time to celebrate our inclusive, diverse, and equal-opportunity society with a huge event that gives everyone a chance to succeed.
This event is a combination of community support, cooperation, and an idea contest that lasts 48 hours from opening doors to closing ceremony. 
The theme of this special event is: Foundational Technologies, such as AI / Machine Learning, AR / VR, and blockchain.  
Who: Developers, designers, musicians, artists, entrepreneurs, testers, and makers.

This is a place for families and children to collaborate as well. <A HREF="https://devca.mp/developer-camp-2019-february-1-3-fdf6124e3661" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Learn more about our upcoming event</A>.
This event has catalyzed the launch of award winning startups (like Getaround and Foodspotting), the formation of founder dream teams (Square), and the building of a talented and collaborative community of developers. 
Out-of-town guests are welcome to join our inclusive event. Though projects will include both solo and team efforts, we encourage attendees to build teams of diverse expertise — business ideas, marketing, design, testing, coding, and back-end development. All attendees should be prepared to participate in the development of a project during the event. Scholarships are available to encourage diversity, and mentors are available.
“It’s one of the most pure and original hackathons.  People come from all around and really just hack on something, meet new people, cherish the relationships that they create here—and go out to create huge companies. The developers we’ve met at Developer Camp are among the best in the world. Some of them have gone on to join our team. We’re excited to be supporting the event again this year... Developer Camp is the best.” 
-Zac Bowling, Google engineer has attended 100+ hackathons
