Day Zero Activities of WeAreDevelopers World Congress tomorrow

Tuesday, July 8th, 2025 at 8:07 am

Hi there, I am currently slightly freaking out as this week is the WeAreDevelopers World Congress in Berlin and I am moderating the main stage with 23 talks in two days and still have to write the closing keynote. Officially the event starts on Thursday, but if you are already in Berlin tomorrow, I put together a grand “Day Zero” agenda on the “Airstream” stage outside the building (the big silver RV).

  • 13:00 – WeAreDevelopers Live
    Join Chris Heilmann and Dan Cranney for the weekly WeAreDevelopers Live show discussing current topics, resources and chatting with GrahamTheDev about all things accessibility
  • 14:00 – Day Zero Challenge
    0day at Day Zero! Take part in a security quiz and learn how to protect your products in a dangerous world. Liran Tal from Snyk will show all about XSS, CSRF and many others issues.
  • 14:30 – Coffee with Developers
    A live recording of our “Coffee with Developers” podcast, this time with Jenn Looper of MSFT/AWS fame, now talking to us how it is to be back in DevRel and what the future might hold for Academia.
  • 15:00 – Tooltime
    Join Chris and Dan from WeAreDevelopers showing you tools they use every day and others they like to create the materials you see on WeAreDevelopers.
  • 15:30 – CODE100 Review
    CODE100 is coming back to WeAreDevelopers World Congress! So this is a good chance to take a look at the older challenges we did and what might be in store for the challengers this year.
  • 16:00 – Drag Karaoke
    Work can be a drag, this won’t be!
