Socrates in a nutshell

SoCraTes Austria 2025 is a two-day event. We will have an open space conference about software crafting and testing. We will start in the morning with the „market place“ and then continue the day with the open space.

People

We want to bring software developers, testers, architects, designers and other people involved with software development together. We want to learn from each other and share our knowledge.

Topics

This conference is about finding better ways to develop software: We will talk and learn about coding, code quality, quality of work, testing, sustainable development, mastery and other topics.

Actions

SoCraTes Austria is a conference that is entirely created by its participants. We want hands-on coding sessions, sessions focused on discussion, interactive talks, and more.

Fun

There will be lots of opportunities to meet, connect, learn, teach, share, and have fun together. We also highly encourage "fun sessions".

The main language of the event (facilitation, group activities) will be English. Sessions can be in German if everybody in the audience of the session understands German or if you announce the session as “German session”.

What attendees say about the SoCraTes Austria

"SoCraTes was truly great for sharing issues, give and get help! I 'wrote' my first ML algorithm, discussed about ethics, I pushed my boundaries by participating in an improvisation acting workshop, found out about the first computer in Austria and co-hosted a DevOps discussion."

Diana Flores

"For me SoCraTes was the best place to share and gain knowledge at the same time. It has never been so easy to find like-minded people with knowledge that were willing to share it and discuss topics that mattered to me and them."

Thomas Einwaller

"I thoroughly enjoyed my time at SoCraTes Days Linz, with interesting discussions about e.g. release management and business models unfolding during the day. I usually attend and present at Java technology conferences, so the quite different SoCraTes experience was very welcome. Highly recommended!"
