The Mauritius Software Craftsmanship Community (MSCC) is organising the ninth edition of the Developers Conference in partnership with local and international companies.
Just like previous years, the event is a free-of-charge, community-driven, three-day IT tech conference hosted annually in Mauritius. It’s an event full of business opportunities and professional networking. Attendees can learn about the latest software development technologies, methodologies, cloud features, and infrastructure.
Purpose
The aim of the conference is to provide local software developers with a buffet of tools, practices, and principles applicable to tackling current challenges in the Mauritian software development environment. From keeping up to date with the latest technologies and trends to tackling the challenges of working in large enterprise systems – it’s a buffet of experiences, ideas, and pragmatic advice as well as an opportunity to connect with peers across the industry.
Attendee Profile
The event targets professional software developers who work in small to large-sized organisations and who develop systems of all sizes for enterprise companies. The event aims to attract attendees across industries such as financial services, web agencies, media houses, telco’s etc.

Expenses Coverage
Ideally, we would love to be able to assist all accepted submissions financially but the MSCC Developers Conference is fully dependent on monetary sponsorship. We have extended our sponsorship tiers with a dedicated "Speaker Sponsorship". It will therefore be up to those partners to select their speakers accordingly and cover the conference’s expenses, including trip and accommodation.
