About Vector
An independent conference, run by developers, for developers, since 2021.
What makes Vector different
We make every decision with one question in mind: will this help attendees do better work?
-
01
No pay-to-speak
Every talk is selected by an anonymous review committee. Sponsors can't buy main-stage slots.
-
02
Practical over polished
We favour war stories and live demos over slide decks full of buzzwords.
-
03
Everyone belongs
A strict code of conduct, 150 scholarships and a venue that works for everyone.
-
04
Profits fund the community
Surplus goes to scholarships and open-source grants.
Five organisers, sixty volunteers
Vector is run by a small team of former engineers and designers, plus volunteers who make the event run on the day.
- Programme committee of 12 practitioners
- Volunteer crew from 20 countries
- Year-round meetups in 8 cities
More than three days a year
Monthly meetups, an active forum and a mentorship programme connect Vector attendees all year round.
What attendees say
The best-run conference I've been to. Every talk was practical.
I came for the AI talks and left with a new job offer.
The workshop alone was worth the ticket.
