Horrors in Dev: A Spooktacular Evening for Technology Goblins and Ghouls

Get ready for a night filled with tech terrors at the AWS Skills Center! Join us for Horrors in Software Development & Testing, a Halloween-inspired event where we’ll face the eerie challenges that plague your SDLC processes.

This frightfully fun evening is perfect for software ghouls, QA goblins, and development wizards eager to tackle their tech nightmares head-on!
Highlights of the Night:

• Tales from the Crypt (of Code): Hear spine-tingling stories of software projects gone wrong, and learn how to escape the same ghastly fates.
• Costume Contest & Creative Bugs: Show off your best Halloween look—there are prizes for the most frightful costumes! Plus, bring your most creative bug stories to compete for another round of ghoulish giveaways. There's a raffle for a Halloween Themed Mystery Box too!
• Lightning Talks with Mad Scientists: Join experts as they share tales of battling the darkest parts of the SDLC and surviving to tell their tales.
• Trick-or-Treat Snacks & Drinks: Delight in spooky treats and devilishly good refreshments to fuel your night of coding horrors.

A huge thanks to our event sponsor, Inflectra, for keeping the ghouls well-fed and energized with refreshments and prizes!
Costumes are encouraged but not required—whether you’re dressed as a tech demon or a code wizard, this is your chance to exorcise your software development demons!
