What we’re about
*Visit our website at REFACTR.TECH*
REFACTR.TECH provides a platform that highlights powerful and unique stories that are often untold in tech. We aim to foster collaboration and thoughtful discussions around technology. We offer a holistic view to learning technical skills, with a focus on career development, mental health, community building, and leadership which sets us apart from many technical conferences and meetups that don't usually offer such a comprehensive approach.
REFACTR.TECH provides a welcoming environment through a range of events, including meetups, panels, workshops, social events, and conferences. Our events cater to a wide range of experience levels and interests, with technical topics for intermediate to senior developers, as well as beginner-friendly content.
For 2025, REFACTR.TECH will offer a range of events, including meetups, panels, workshops, and social events that cater to a wide range of experience levels and interests, with technical topics for intermediate to senior developers, as well as beginner-friendly content.

Featured event
Code Reading Club **REGISTER ON EVENTBRITE**
Like a book club, but for code.
Join us as we guide you through reading a surprise code excerpt and learn from each other how to better read unfamiliar code. As more and more code is generated due to AI, our ability to read code is increasingly important but a skill we rarely practice. At this meetup we will guide you through a series of prompts and activities to explore and discuss a small piece of code. This meeting is language agnostic - whether you know the language or it’s new to you, your perspective matters. Fresh eyes often spot what experts overlook.
This meetup is equally for those new to development as well as seasoned professionals - we can all get better at reading code (and understanding how others approach code so we can be better mentors and teammates). If you know what a variable is, this is for you!
