Erie Day of Code is a one-day, single-track conference for web developers, computer scientists, creatives, and tech enthusiasts. Through a series of talks from incredible speakers, and an after party to connect with your peers, we aim to give our attendees an opportunity to expand their skillsets, networks, and minds.
Talks this year are targeted at major areas in software engineering, from design through development to deployment. Erie Day of Code promotes open source in code, community, and ideology. We want to share as much as we can with you, and hope you will pay it forward by sharing your knowledge with your peers!
