TechBash 2026 is right around the corner, and we can’t wait to welcome you back to the Kalahari Resort in the Poconos from October 13-16! If you haven’t secured your ticket yet, now is the time to act. We have some important deadlines approaching, as well as exciting opportunities for organizations to get involved.

Approaching Deadlines: September 13th

Standard Registration Ends Soon

September 13th is the absolute last day to grab your 3-day or 4-day tickets at our Standard Registration rates. Just as importantly, it is the final day our room block at the Kalahari Resort is guaranteed to be available. Booking by this deadline is the only way to lock in our deeply discounted room rates for your stay, so please don't delay! Head over to our registration page to secure your tickets and book your room.

Bring Your Team: Group Discounts

Want to attend TechBash with your whole crew? We offer great group discounts! Teams of 5 or more developers receive 15% off their registration, and groups of 10 or more receive 20% off their 3-day or 4-day tickets. It's a fantastic way to learn together and bring new skills back to your organization.

Why a 4-Day Ticket?

When you purchase a 4-day ticket, you unlock access to our incredible deep-dive Tuesday workshops. This week, we’re thrilled to highlight an essential session by Brain Aboze titled "Beyond the Demo: Engineering AI Agents That Actually Ship."

This talk covers the emerging discipline of agent engineering and the architectural patterns required to build AI agents that are reliable, testable, and debuggable in production. Whether you work in Python, .NET, JVM, or TypeScript, this session gives you the engineering mental model to ship agents that work every day, not just on demo day.

Last-Minute Sponsorship Opportunities

As a registered charitable organization run entirely by volunteers, we rely on the generous support of our sponsors to continue bringing world-class content to our attendees. If your company is looking to reach an engaged developer audience, we still have last-minute sponsorship opportunities available!

We have remaining space in our exhibition hall for Gold and Platinum sponsors. For organizations that cannot attend in person, our Silver Sponsorship is a perfect way to get involved by providing materials directly in our attendee swag bags.

Please review our Sponsor Prospectus to learn more and secure your spot.

See you at Kalahari!

Join hundreds of other developers this October for an amazing week of learning and networking. We can't wait to see you there!

Welcome to 2024! We're so excited to get this rolling for TechBash 2024. We have a few announcements and reminders for attendees, speakers, and sponsor today.

First a reminder to save the dates for TechBash 2024. We'll be back at the Kalahari Resort and Convention Center in the Poconos this fall. It's a little earlier in the fall this year... September 24th through 27th. Here's the projected high-level schedule:

• Tuesday 9/24: Full day & half-day workshops
• Wednesday 9/25: Sessions and Welcome Reception
• Thursday 9/26: Sessions and Game Night (families welcome for games of all kinds)
• Friday 9/27: Sessions and Family Day (bring your kids)

Early bird ticket sales will be opening before you know it. Subscribe to our email newsletter to be the first to get notified.

Next, we're announcing the dates for our TechBash 2024 Call for Speakers. It will be back on Sessionize and will be open January 29th through March 8th. More info and links coming soon!

Finally, if you're interested in sponsoring TechBash this year, our 2024 Sponsor Prospectus is now available on our site. Download it and reach out to sponsor@techbash.com with any questions or ideas of your own.

That's all for today. We hope that everyone attending CodeMash this week has an amazing time!

Due to speaker travel and scheduling conflicts, there have been several changes to the TechBash schedule. We had some speakers with conflicts over the last few weeks, and others have graciously stepped in to fill those spots on the schedule. You can always view the latest schedule on our website or in the TechBash mobile app (see below).

We are excited to have an amazing new workshop on cross-platform .NET apps to replace the OpenTelemetry half-day workshop which was removed due to speaker travel issues. You can still register for 1-day, 3-days, or 4-days and save 10% with EventBrite discount code DOTNET10. This year we have 1-day registration for the Tuesday workshops available for the first time!

Updated Workshop Duo: Azure MLOps & Building beautiful, performant, single-codebase Web, Mobile & Desktop apps with .NET

Steve Bilogan will now be presenting the afternoon workshop in this Workshop Duo track. This is a hands-on, semi-guided workshop in which attendees will be asked to complete a series of exercises to build a complete cross-platform YouTube-like application using the open-source Uno Platform.
