Join us to write code, discuss and have loads of fun together with like-minded passionate developers.
Learn and share new ideas, techniques, languages and frameworks through coding dojos, pair programming, mob programming, groups discussions, presentations, informal conversations.
Being a self-organizing event, SoCraTesBE participants create the schedule on the fly, every day before the Open Space starts. This “schedule” is known as the Market Place.
The market place is basiscally a map of timeslots and locations for sessions like in the picture above.
Every participant that wants to, can give a short intro of the topic they want to discuss, present, work on, experiment with that day. After which it will be added to the market place.
When the market place is set up, everyone is free to attend any session they are interested in. If at any time during a session you find yourself neither learning nor contributing, use your two feet and join another session.
The gathering runs from Thursday 14 May to Sunday 17 May, 2020.
We’ll kick off Thursday evening with dinner at 7 PM. After dinner, around 8.30 PM, we will officially open the third edition of SoCraTes BE with a warm up session to get all the brains fired up. When the warm up session is finished, the floor is yours to continue the conversation, twist it around and branch it in every direction.
On Friday and Saturday, we’ll run an open space, in which every attendee is welcome and encouraged to propose talks, discussions, workshops or whatever else they choose to further every attendee’s knowledge and understanding of creating and maintaining software.
On Friday and Saturday evenings, attendees are encouraged to run social activities, from pair-programming to board games and everything in between.
The conference is officially over on Sunday the 12th after breakfast, but people can still join us for a nice walk or discover the beauty of La Roche-En-Ardenne, run a code retreat, or other informal activities.
