New Year, New Start
A new year means another opportunity for growth, learning, and, most importantly, starting up with something new. Inspired from the technical term of “booting up” a computer, Dev8 is introducing its newest event, Dev8 BOOT 2025, a virtual conference for Eastern Visayas that aims to provide a platform for knowledge sharing and inspiring developers, students, and tech enthusiasts to do amazing things in 2025.

Speakers
We're still working on finalizing the list of speakers for this year's Dev8 BOOT, and searching for people who would love to share their knowledge and love for tech. We're making sure that you'll meet a wonderful set of people you can learn from and be inspired by. Currently, we're looking for developers with personal projects they can share.
