Emily Didier

With three days full of community and creativity, bbdevdays 2025 attendees explored innovative solutions through over 125 sessions, including panel discussions, hands-on Skills Labs, live demos, and engaging keynotes. There’s still time to immerse yourself in the knowledge!

It’s hard to believe bbdevdays 2025 is already over! With an emphasis on community, bbdevdays participants were exposed to new techniques, advanced solutions, and a dynamic environment for collaboration and shared learning. Sessions catered to various roles and skill levels, including low-code and pro-code developers, subject matter experts, tech leaders, and budding innovators. At bbdevdays, everyone could find something beneficial.

Keynote speakers included: Wendy Bolger, founding director of the Simon Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship at Loyola University Maryland; Shelby Tallent, founder and chief ethical AI strategist at Ethic.AI; and Jeffrey Davis, founding director and chief consultant at Tracking Wonder.

Recognition of outstanding contributors is a hallmark of bbdevdays, and this year was no exception. Rochelle Toomer earned the Developer Impact Award, celebrating her pursuit of innovation. Carol Grant received the Developer Community Award, honoring her relentless support and knowledge sharing within the tech community. These awards winners, like many attendees, embody the spirit of bbdevdays.
