Dev Edmonton Society

Fostering a Stronger Software
Development Community in Edmonton.

We are made up of people who believe that an impactful, diverse, and collaborative developer community enriches us all. We realize this vision by sharing knowledge and ideas, understanding the community and its needs, promoting events and initiatives, and supporting technology meetups and organizations.

About Our Slack

Welcome Friend!

We have a Slack workspace to connect people who are involved with the Edmonton tech scene. The people here range from being developers, designers, PM's, students, hobbyists and more who love to talk about code. We also do events and network across Alberta.

There are several channels that you can check out on the card. They range from being about a specific meetup, tech news, tech help, finding new opportunities, casual chatting and more. We have 80+ other channels! If there's any channels we're missing all members are free to create any they want. If they're inactive for a few months, then they'll be deleted. Connect with other members of the community by joining the workspace.

By joining the Slack you agree to abide by our Code of Conduct. Looking forward to chatting!
