Moldova DevCon (#MDC) returns to Arena Chișinău on October 10–11, 2025 — two days of technical talks, hands-on workshops, and networking that turns into real collaborations. You are already in a great company - leading engineers from MongoDB, Amazon, IBM, Wix, and others are already confirmed as speakers.
