Beer City Code is an annual conference for software developers held in Grand Rapids, MI, also known as Beer City, USA. Software creators of all types are welcome, even those who don't care for beer.
The main conference is held Saturday, August 6. Note that, as we return to our first event since COVID, we will be keeping the event simple this year. There will be no workshops, diversity mixer, kids conference, or keynote for the 2022 event. We hope that these features of the show will return in 2023.
The Beer City Code conference grew our of the success of its predecessor, Grand Rapids DevDay, but was renamed in 2017 to embrace its much more broad appeal outside the Grand Rapids area.
With several day-long workshops to choose from focusing on many different exciting and cutting-edge technolgies, our workshop attendees will be able to get hands-on in a smaller classroom setting with our excellent instructors.
Buy a ticket for both a workshop and the conference day to get the most bang for your buck, and don't forget to upgrade to the VIP package and you can top off your weekend with a party at a local establishment with our speakers and VIPs.
Saturday is the main event. Don't miss a moment of this exciting day packed full of top-tier speakers presenting on some very interesting, useful, and cutting-edge technologies and topics.
You won't go hungry, either! We'll feed you coffee, snacks, and a filling lunch to keep your brain fueled for all the learning it's going to do.
Combine your conference ticket with the VIP ticket and you will also get into the VIP after-party with our speakers, organizers, and other VIPs.

As Beer City Code continues to monitor the local, national and worldwide incidence of the coronavirus and the illness it causes, COVID-19, we want to make sure that we have updated guidance related to our event. It is likely this information will change as the situation evolves, and this section will contain the most up-to-date information we have. Questions may be directed to [email protected].
Beer City Code's priority in setting these policies is to minimize the transmission of contagious disease.
Based on the current CDC and governmental guidelines, we are not currently requiring masks, vaccines, or proof of a negative COVID test. We still ask everyone to use their discretion in keeping a healthy distance from others when possible, and to not discourage the wearing of masks by any individual.
Most Important Actions to Take Now:
If public health conditions worsen, Beer City Code's policies may be amended. This would be done to address the effects of more widespread illness, and to limit the spread. All attendees are expected to cooperate and comply with this COVID policy. Failure to do so will result it removal from the event.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
