Designed with both emerging and experienced developers in mind! Join us at the Billy Frank Jr. Conference Center at Ecotrust for a discussion on today's rapidly evolving tech landscape, full-stack development is undergoing a significant transformation. This event is part of The Open Source Fellowship, offering an in-depth look at the shifting role of full-stack developers in the age of AI, open-source collaboration, and workforce innovation. We’ll kick off with informal networking among technologists, followed by a compelling keynote, which will unpack how developers are adapting to AI-assisted workflows, the increasing importance of collaborative tools, and the long-term value of full-stack thinking in a fragmented tech ecosystem.
Participants will gain a deeper understanding of how full-stack skills are still relevant, if not essential in building adaptable, human-centered technologies.
The evening will continue with a candid panel discussion featuring local engineers who will share their career journeys, discuss how AI is impacting their day-to-day work, and offer practical advice for those breaking into tech.
This community program is organized by NTEN, Fuse Change, Liminal Labs and with collaborating partners Technology Association of Oregon, and PIE.
