Hello everybody!
We are pleased to officially announce the dates for DevCamp 2024. This year it will be located in the Trimble Head office in Westminster, Colorado, U.S.A
When: 6th, 7th and 8th of November, 2024
Cost: Free to attend
This year we are opening up the agenda to have presentations from our attending developers - You! Please fill out this form with a quick description of a presentation you would like to give at DevCamp. If you wish, you may submit more than one presentation idea.
We would also like to note that this year DevCamp is the week prior to SketchUp 3DBaseCamp in Vegas. Full details of 3D Basecamp can be found here
Thank you so much, we hope to see you in Westminster!
Thanks for the reply. I was thinking the DevCamp would maybe take place before the release so that other developers could get their software ready/synched for the release.
Craig, can you please let us know whether Devcamp starts on the morning of Nov 6th? Or in the afternoon? The answer may affect my travel plans and costs.
And do you know when Devcamp will wrap up on the 8th?
The intention is to start in the morning on the 6th November. At present the morning sessions are likely to be presentations by the SketchUp team and the afternoon sessions are more for extension developers to present if they wish. This agenda is being worked on at the moment and I hope to have it confirmed later this week.
As for the final day, some attendees may or may not decide to attend this. The agenda is typically more open on this day to allow us to cover anything that comes up in the previous days, plus it also allows us time for collaboration with those that want it.
The bulk of the information being presented will be on day one and two though.
Hey, for visitors from a land far, far away, any recommendations for things to do in and around Denver area before/after the DevCamp? Also good dining experiences - I recall from years ago there was some amazing restaurants in Boulder.
By something of a coincidence, I happen to be in the UK from November 3rd til November 10th (and then flying straight to Las Vegas for 3DBC). I live in Boulder, and there are some good restaurants, but there are some good places near the office as well. I’m sure everyone on the team will have ideas.
@tt_su has been here several times and may have some good ideas of things to do.
I asked the MS Copilot AI. It kept asking for more specific activity types, etc.
These are the general recommendations.
