Adulting.Dev is a one day conference for professionals developers who have recently started their careers and the managers and team leads who support them taking place in New York City on September 7th 2019. The conference will cover topics across three themes - learning, living and leveling-up. This isn’t your typical tech conference - we’re not talking about your technical skills, but everything else needed for a happy, healthy work life.
Adulting.Dev was heavily inspired by You Got This in the UK, and is run with their blessing. Unfortunately, as this is a small affordable first time conference we’re not able to provide reimbursement for travel or honorarium to speakers. We are however committed to giving away a minimum of 20% of our available tickets as part of our inclusion program to support under-represented groups in tech.
CFP Description
The goals of this conference are to talk about the skills that early career developers/designers/creatives need. We’d love a mix of inspiring stories and actionable skills for early career professionals , and tips on how to better support team members for those who manage juniors.
The Adulting.Dev audience consists of 150 new developers coming from a variety of backgrounds.
This year, the conference is focused on the following three areas:
- Learning: Grow and document your technical skills. We’re not looking for technical talks. Topics will include strategies for learning, recording your growth and how to create space for learning in your role.
- Living: This topic area is about self-care and mental health. Topics will include how to say no, maintaining a life-work balance and combating imposter syndrome.
- Leveling Up: Hear how to transition out of junior positions. Topics will include approaching reviews with confidence, asking for a raise and meaningful feedback in a work environment.
We will consider talks outside of these areas, but you are much more likely to be accepted if it covers one or more of the above subjects. We are not looking for:
- Traditional technical talks: This conference is about the soft skills you need to be successful in a new role.
