NERD Summit 2021

NERD Summit is an inclusive, community building tech event in New England.

In 2021 we will be virtual again, but are changing the format.

Friday (3/19) will be a normal day of sessions - presentations given by speakers.

Saturday (3/20) will be open discussion sessions, which are commonly called "BOFs" ( Birds of a Feather), people coming together to discuss a topic of interest. These meetings will have a leader who will structure the discussion with 3 or so discussion questions around the topic to be discussed.

Sunday (3/21) will be a Training Day - an opportunity for people to come together and learn from each other.

Mission
The mission of NERD (New England Regional Developers) is to collaborate with the regional community to ensure that the annual Summit and events throughout the year offer everyone, regardless of background or finances, a diverse curriculum for relevant skill building and valuable networking opportunities. This supports our vision of creating positive and supportive learning opportunities for people who work or want to work in web and related technology. Too many smart, passionate people have been traditionally excluded from tech careers, and we're changing that.
