DevRelate Webinar: August 14 & 16 – How to Engage the Elusive Developer

Many developer relations teams can easily find a small group of developers that fit with their target personas and product/industry segments. It’s more of a challenge to find a wider range of developers who will also build value on top of your product or service. This webinar will cover how to find the largest developer community for a new product or service offering, or how to go beyond your existing community to find new developers to expand your reach.

Agenda:

  1. Where to look for developers
  2. Matching your product/service with specific types of developers
  3. Creating the right incentives for a win/win relationship
  4. Growing your developer community as your product or service grows
  5. Q&A

 

Presenter:

  • David Intersimone, known to many as David I, is a passionate and innovative software industry veteran who extols and educates the world on developer tools, software development and software architectures. David I also shares his visions and insights as a pioneer in developer relations with program managers and directors giving workshops, webinars, guidance and advice on program creation and enhancement.
