It’s happening again in 2026! BASE is running a development and engineering track at sloss.tech called sloss.tech/dev. We’re returning to the McWane Center, and we’re excited to bring even more tech content to the conference this year.

At last year’s sloss.tech/dev, we had a fantastic time running the track and engaging with the community. This year, we’re looking forward to building on that success and providing even more valuable content for attendees. We will definitely have an exciting lineup of speakers and sessions planned (updates here as they come in), covering a wide range of topics in development and engineering.

Our first All Your Base at the Beer Hog was quite successful, so we’re doing it again in February!

Join us on Thursday, February 26th at 6:00 PM at the Beer Hog in Pelham for the second All Your BASE of 2026 to talk about whatever you’re interested in! We’ll grab a table and hang out for a while.

This time, we should have a sign unless Scooter eats it again. Sorry, Willy! Hope to see you there!

DevOps Days Atlanta 2026 is coming up on April 21st and 22nd (in Atlanta, of course)! The call for speakers is closed, but the schedule is starting to take shape. If you’re interested in attending, you can find more information on the DevOps Days Atlanta website.

Tickets are available on Eventbrite, but there’s no link on the main website (as of this writing). Early bird tickets are $107.81 (which includes sales tax), and regular tickets are $217.80 starting on March 1st. If you’re interested in attending, we recommend getting the early bird ticket.

The March Show and Tell at Innovation Depot has been announced on Meetup.

Join us on Tuesday, March 3rd at 11:30 AM at Innovation Depot to share and learn with the Birmingham developer community. Whether you have a project to share or just want to see what others are working on, we’d love to see you there! Live demos are encouraged (and broken demos are always cheered).

The February Show and Tell at Innovation Depot had several new faces, and one familiar. We had a great time talking about Infrastrucure as Code using Terraform, and discussing career paths in tech. Thanks to everyone who came out!

The first All Your BASE of 2026 has been scheduled on Meetup and we’re headed a little South!

Join us on Thursday, January 29th at 6:00 PM at the Beer Hog in Pelham to talk about whatever you’re intereste in! We’ll grab a table and hang out for a while.

We hope to see you there!

Update: We had a great time at the first All Your BASE of 2026! Thanks to everyone who came out, and we hope to see you at the next one on February 26th!

The October All Your BASE has been scheduled on Meetup! Join us on Thursday, October 30th at 6:00 PM at Monday Night Brewing (114 14th St S, Birmingham, AL 35233) for an evening of socializing and fun. We’ll grab a table and probably remember to bring the BASE sign this time!

The October Show and Tell was a success! Tony and Byron had presentations, and we had a great time socializing and networking. Thanks to everyone who came out!

Come to the September Show and Tell the day after Labor Day at Innovation Depot!

Update: The September Show and Tell was fantastic! Thanks to everyone who came out and shared their projects.

Some folks had already left, which was my mistake.

It’s definitely hot outside! Come cool off with us at our August Show and Tell. This time we will be hosted at the Motion Industries Learning and Development Center on August 5. The center is located at 1581 Alton Ct, Birmingham, AL 35210 and Motion Industries has graciously provided us with lunch as well as a space to meet and share our projects.

This month’s event is going to be hosted by Joe Jewell. Make sure you say “Hi!” and thank him for hosting us.

As we wind down from Sloss.Tech, we’re excited to keep the momentum going with our next community Show and Tell - July 1 at Innovation Depot.

Every month, developers from across Birmingham come together to share what they’ve been building, learn from each other, and build connections. Whether you’re working on a side project, launching something new, or just curious to see what others are up to, you’re welcome here.

Bring a project for a quick 3–5 minute talk, or just come and spectate. Live demos are encouraged (and broken demos are always cheered).

We ran a conference!

OK. We ran a track at a conference. But that conference was sloss.tech and it’s kind of a big deal.

BASE ran a development and engineering track called sloss.tech/dev at the McWane Center. Finally, sloss.tech had actual tech at the conference!

We had a great time, and we hope you did, too! Thanks to everyone who attended, spoke, and helped make the event a success. We’d especially like to thank the McWane Center for hosting us and the Sloss.Tech team for organizing such a fantastic event.
