About Developer Camp

Developer Camp is a three-day hackathon and community event, held regularly in cities all around the world. Each hackathon is a combination of community support, cooperation, and an idea contest that lasts 48 hours from opening doors to closing ceremony. It relies on a certain pattern to create trust and foster cooperation — right up until the presentations begin.

Attending Developer Camp offers a unique opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals, gain valuable skills through workshops, and showcase your projects to industry leaders. Participants can also benefit from mentorship and networking opportunities, making it a pivotal experience for aspiring developers and entrepreneurs.

Recruit winners.

Our group has the industry’s highest percentage of female participants at 40%, with the goal of even representation across all backgrounds. We give scholarships to women, also students and veterans.
