Sloss Tech's "Next in Tech" is Back, Bigger Than Ever!

Get ready, ChumCity! Sloss Tech, the Southeast's hottest tech conference, is leveling up its "Next in Tech" program. This amazing initiative gives students and early-career pros FREE access to the conference AND killer professional development!

Level Up Your Tech Career

Now in its third year, "Next in Tech" has already helped nearly 200 folks snag industry knowledge, network like crazy, and connect directly with recruiters from companies like Protective Life and even NASCAR. It's all about breaking down those financial barriers that keep talented folks from hitting their tech career goals.

Who's Invited?

If you've got five years or less of experience in tech (or something close to it), listen up! The program's open to students and recent grads all across Alabama, and it's first-come, first-served, so get your application in quick.

Free Conference Access? You Bet!

Thanks to support from Innovate Alabama (the presenting sponsor!) and other awesome partners, "Next in Tech" hooks you up with full conference access—completely free! Plus, they've curated special breakout sessions, keynotes, and career-building events just for early-career attendees. How cool is that?

Making Connections All Over the State

"Next in Tech" is teaming up with statewide talent initiatives like FuelAL, the QuantHub Alabama Data Scholars Internship Program, and the A.G. Gaston Boys & Girls Club to give Alabama's next-gen tech pros pro-level development, internships, and community support.

Real People, Real Results!

Don't just take our word for it. One 2023 scholar said Sloss Tech was their first experience networking with tech employers outside of a career fair, leading to a summer internship. Another attendee, Destiny Patton, said Sloss Tech 2019 inspired her to lead a research project in algorithms, and now she's interning at Amazon!

Birmingham: The South's Rising Tech Star!

Sloss Tech 2025 is helping put Birmingham on the map as a booming tech hub, and "Next in Tech" is a major part of that, supporting local talent and Alabama's awesome innovation scene.
