About
What to expect at the Write/Speak/Code conference
Write/Speak/Code is an intensive, 3-day, hands-on conference with workshops, personalized feedback sessions, panels, and talks by talented technologists with marginalized genders.
This year we’ll have four distinct conference tracks — Write, Speak, Code, and Growth. Each day of the conference, you’ll have the choice of participating in our core curriculum for writing (Friday), speaking (Saturday) or open-source/coding (Sunday) OR attending talks across three other tracks. The choice is yours!
Write/Speak/Code’s core curriculum is designed to help you break down mental blockers, identify and own your expertise, and build a toolkit and body of work around technical blog writing, conference speaking, and open source coding. On each day, attendees leave the conference having developed blog posts and conference talks, making open source contributions, and more. We provide actionable next steps and a supportive community to keep attendees accountable to the goals they set at the conference and beyond.

We recommend taking a taxi or Lyft/Uber to the conference. It’s a beautiful, historic San Francisco building and landmark, but it’s unfortunately not on the BART line.

The GitHub platform is where you can create, share, and ship the best code possible. Whether you are a student, hobbyist, consultant, enterprise professional, partner or executive, GitHub allows you to build software in the way that works best for you.
GitHub is much more than code. It is the home of open source collaboration. It is where new developers get started and where experienced developers expand their knowledge. It is a community where you can come together to solve the unsolvable and test the limits of what software can do.
