SDC IS BACK!
20 – 21 JUNE

BIGGER, BETTER & MORE SUMO THAN EVER BEFORE

In June 2022 we held our first ever Sumo Developer Conference. We didn’t see SDC as a one off… that was just the beginning! We’ve listened to the feedback from last year, and made time for more talks, more networking and there’ll be even more of Sumo’s people attending to collaborate and learn with. We have some of the most amazing developers in the industry and we can’t wait to welcome them all to Sheffield for SDC23.
