CVCC 2025



Chippewa Valley Code Camp 2025 was held on Saturday, March 15th. The theme for the conference was tech entrepreneurship.

After our keynote speaker Todd Gardner was introduced with a comedic icebreaker, he regailed us with his journey as an entrepreneur. He included insights into realizing commercially-viable software products. The keynote was personal and relatable!

Presentations are the meat of any tech conference. Ranging from soft skills like resume writing, to technical implementation of useful open source platforms, we were able to schedule content to benefit everyone!

In addition to six scheduled presentations, the conference was bolstered with a hands-on workshop, and a panel on tech entrepreneurship.

We were able to provide a great lunch, as well as a t-shirt giveaway & 3d-printed conference SWAG. Not bad for a conference that’s free to attend!
