Software for Humanity is a thought-provoking and immersive event that brings together software engineers, developers, technologists, and industry leaders to explore the intersection of technology, humanity, and sustainability. This event aims to foster knowledge sharing, collaboration, and awareness of critical topics such as open-source APIs, performance engineering, sustainable IT practices, and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the tech industry.

This year’s theme, “There’s IT in ‘humanity’ but is there humanity in IT?”, promises a thought-provoking and immersive experience that unites software engineers, developers, and technologists. We aim to explore the intersection of technology, humanity, and sustainability, serving as a supportive community for tech leaders, practitioners, and enthusiasts by sharing knowledge about the newest trends and technologies in IT. Our event will be recorded but not live streamed.
