A message from Imran Siddiqui, CEO - South Florida Tech Hub:
As part of South Florida Tech Hub's continued evolution of our regional programming strategy, SoFlo DevCon 2026 has been postponed to a future date that is currently being finalized.
This next chapter of SoFlo DevCon is being thoughtfully reimagined with a focus on creating an even stronger experience for developers, students, founders, technology professionals, employers, and ecosystem partners across South Florida.
Our goal is to better align the conference with the academic calendar and broader talent-facing initiatives happening throughout the region, allowing for deeper collaboration, stronger participation, and greater long-term impact for the community we serve.
We are incredibly appreciative of the enthusiasm and support surrounding SoFlo DevCon and remain deeply committed to building one of South Florida's premier developer and technology community experiences.
Additional updates, including the new event date and future programming announcements, will be shared soon.
Thank you for your continued support of South Florida's growing innovation ecosystem.
Good news: Speaker applications remain open during this transition!
