Conference
What is the Nowhere Developers Conference?
Glad you asked. It’s a conference and event series for developers and engineers, focused on the latest developments in software engineering, machine learning, blockchain, distributed systems, and frontend and backend development.
We noticed most of the conferences in this region are geared towards C-level executives and planners. Plus, the technical talks tend to be high-level overviews or aimed at beginners. We wanted more in-depth and engaging technical discussions, so we decided to organize the Nowhere Developers Conference.
What is the goal of this conference?
Our goal is to provide a platform for industry professionals to engage in the biggest pure-tech conference in this region.
What can I expect?
Local, regional, and national speakers and experts will be talking about the state of tech, software engineering, machine learning and more.
Any other cool stuff?
You’ll also meet fellow Nowhere Developers, eat some terrific, local Ozark food, and exchange ideas and a few drink “cheers” with our speakers at the SupplyPike after-party!
NWA
There’s very few regions quite like Northwest Arkansas. With half a million people calling Northwest Arkansas home, you’ll find a mashup of Fortune 500 companies, startups, cultural epicenters, and sprawling nature. You could say we’re a very…’business in the front, party in the back’ kind of place.
Nowhere Developers Conference will take place at Record, an incredible industrial venue inside a former mid-century car dealership, located in downtown Bentonville. The venue is in walking distance of award-winning restaurants, the famous Onyx Coffee Lab and Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art.
