NextSteps DevCon
Tech rewards the people who already have the network. NextSteps DevCon was built for the people who don’t.
Through the conference and the Pledge to Equality Scholarship Program, NextSteps has granted 10,000+ scholarships and created a stage where the next generation of engineers — particularly from underserved communities — can plug in.
