DevEx Connect has a mission to accelerate the Developer Experience Ecosystem + Movement globally, scaling communities via #OperationUplift and connecting technologists through our summit series.

Three weeks ago, with only four months to prepare, our team worked tirelessly to deliver an incredible, first-of-its-kind event in Manchester. The event featured over 450 attendees, 47 speakers, and 17 sponsors, bringing 19 regional communities together.

With Manchester’s resounding success, our goal was to host a more significant event in February next year. Unfortunately, the nature and economics of these events make them difficult to do on the small, intimate scale we originally planned to do in major cities globally, as well as increasing costs from the events industry and the size of the team required to run exceptionally high-quality events.

As a result, we’re suspending plans for our London event while we work on alternative endeavours.

Talks from the Manchester event are being edited, encoded, and uploaded and will soon be available on our website and YouTube. Thank you to everyone who joined us in Manchester!

DevEx Connect is proud to support the community through financial and advisory support via #OperationUplift. In total, 34 communities received valued support across the UK, and our national community survey will be published on our website soon.

We would like to thank everyone who has supported our mission over the past five months.
