Devoxx France Presentation
What is Devoxx France?
Devoxx France is first and foremost a series of conferences for developers, and secondly a traditional trade fair with stands and exhibitors. What defines our project is the importance we place on content.
For the 2024 edition, we received over 1,000 presentation requests on the Devoxx France CFP website. In the end, we selected 230 presentations, ensuring high-quality content.
Devoxx France offers technical presentations in French and English for all audiences. The sessions are filmed and then made available online for free at our YouTube channelEnglish accounts for approximately 20% of the content; the majority of presentations are in French.
Since its inception, the conference has been sold out. In 2023, for example, we sold 3,300 tickets in a single day when sales opened. We held a second sale in February 2024 to sell off the remaining tickets.
With regard to exhibition/sponsor spaces, we turn down numerous requests each year to ensure that exhibitors are relevant to the audience and expectations of those attending Devoxx France.
This work ensures the quality and the requirement of a conference within the framework of the franchise Devoxx.
Devoxx FRANCE: the origins
The Devoxx conference family
Devoxx France is one of the conferences in the Devoxx conference family.
Created by Stephan Janssen in Belgium, Devoxx Belgium is the historical edition, which takes place in October every year in Antwerp. After France, Devoxx moved to England, Morocco, Poland, and Ukraine. In addition, Devoxx has created the "Voxxed", small conferences over one or two days.
Each conference is independent, organized either by volunteers or by companies.
10 years of code & conferences
Established in 2012
The former team of the Paris JUG association decides to create Devoxx France at the end of 2011. The first edition is held at the Marriott Hotel in Paris, with 900 people, 15 sponsors. It is a success from the first year.
In 2015, Nicolas Martignole, Antonio Goncalves and Zouheir Cadi decided to create Quantixx, the company behind the Devoxx France project. After months of research, the team set up the conference at the Palais des Congrès in Paris, Porte Maillot. The venue can accommodate 4,500 people, and the exhibition hall is the largest of any Devoxx conference.
In 2024, the team will add an additional level, enabling it to accommodate a total of 4,500 people per day.
