Meet likeminded tech professonals at Skills Matter


With 100,000+ members from 92 countries, we are one of the world's largest communities of software engineers — and the only one that regularly gets together in person to share the latest tech, skills and ideas. Every year we organise hundreds of expert-led talks, conferences, meetups and workshops on the topics that truly matter to engineering teams. And if you can’t be there in person, recordings of our events are available 24/7 for in our online library of free SkillsCast videos.
