FridayMar 27 2026Tech Talk | Code, Content, and Community: Life as a Developer AdvocateWebsite
Have you ever wondered what it’s really like to work as a Developer Advocate?
Developer Advocacy sits at the intersection of technical depth, strategic communication, and community building. It blends coding, content creation, and relationship-building to help bridge the gap between engineering teams and the developers they serve.
In this live Tech Talk, Jeremy Rivera, Full-stack Software Engineer and Developer Advocate, will explore the three pillars of modern developer relations: code, content, and community. He will share real-world lessons from working between engineering and marketing, and explain how advocacy can scale impact through education, open source, and accessibility.
Whether you are exploring Developer Advocacy or looking to expand your influence beyond writing code, you will walk away with practical insights on how technical skills and communication work together.
Save your spot now and join us on Friday, March 27 at 1 PM PT | 3 PM CT | 4 PM ET to discover life as a Developer Advocate.

WednesdayApr 8 2026UpStart Collective: Grand Opening Day @ Big Pink!
Website🎉 We're throwing open the doors, and it's time to celebrate! UpStart Collective is officially moving into our new home at Big Pink — one of Portland's most iconic buildings — and we want you there to kick things off with us on the 5th floor.
Come raise a glass (or a coffee cup) with Josh and the rest of the crew as we toast to new beginnings, fresh space, and everything that's ahead. Whether you've been with us from the start or you're just now hearing about UpStart Collective, this is the perfect moment to walk through the door, look around, and feel what we're building together.
We'll start the morning off right with a ribbon-cutting with Portland Mayor, Keith Wilson. After that, we'll have programming from our partners at Plug and Play and the Komputational Kulture team.
Swing by on the morning of April 8th, take in the views from the 5th floor, and help us make some noise in our new space. See you at Big Pink! 🩷
