Virtual Coffee Events

Job hunting as a collective: An accountability session exclusively for job hunting. Support each other by being present and sharing your goals, target roles, and resources. Let's collaborate as we apply for jobs, reach out to recruiters, and scroll LinkedIn for leads. "Hunt with the pack! Arwoooo...!!!"

DSA Office Hours is an opportunity to come and ask questions about anywhere you get stuck on this week’s coding problems, or about this week’s topic. Find this week’s DSA topic and coding problems in #tech-interview-study-group. New topic and problems every week!

Who needs some accountability to work on their presentation for the quickly approaching VC Conference – or any other talk you have coming up??

Let’s meet in the #co-working-room for a 3-hour focus block! If needed, Meg can create some breakout rooms for us to silently focus, practice our talks, and ideate with other presenters.

Come on out and get to work!

You want to learn that new tool/finish up that blog post/send that job application, but you’re so busy that the day is over before you know it. Join us and add some fun and friendly accountability to your schedule!

Drop into our sessions whenever and for however long your schedule allows. No matter the goal, you’ll find encouragement and support alongside your Accountabilibuddies!

An hour-long chat with devs at all stages of the journey. You can come to hang out with great people, ask questions or bring up a topic, or just sit back and listen to others talk about tech. Currently open to slack members only. Check announcements for the Join Event button.

Every Thursday at 12pm ET!

The Quarter Challenge for Spring 2025: From Idea to Stage! is on. During April we are focusing on Technical Setup & Rehearsals. Join this check-in to give updates on your progress, and connect with fellow members who are completing the challenge to ask questions and get mutual support.

On Fridays, we solve a new puzzle at CSSBattle.dev. We meet in the #co-working-room for this Coffee Table, and can move our meeting to a breakout room so as not to disturb any co-working VC members. Feel free to join us and learn more about CSS! If you can't make it, be sure to play along on your own and post your answers in Virtual Coffee's CSS Battles Discussion board!

Feelings Friday was started at the Flatiron School coding boot camp by its founders, Avi Flombaum & Adam Enbar, after they noticed burnout among their first cohorts. Join a supportive group where everyone has the opportunity to share what’s on their mind in a safe environment. It's a great way to unwind at the end of the week!

Weekly discussion of job search and interview-related topics. Mini mock-interviews, technical topic discussions, job search tips, occasional guest speakers, etc. We are always looking for ideas to help meet your needs! All stages of career and job search welcome.

Join us for the inaugural Virtual Coffee Developer Conference, a celebration of our community's diverse expertise and shared journey in technology!

Hosted by CFE.dev, this special event brings together speakers from all stages of the developer journey to share insights, experiences, and practical knowledge. From accessibility and AI to career growth and developer tools, our lineup offers something for everyone.

Discover innovative approaches to using GitHub Copilot, explore the evolution of web design from table layouts to Tailwind, learn hands-free computing with Talon Voice, and unravel the secrets of Git. Dive into talks about sustainable learning, thriving with ADHD as a developer, remote networking, and practical digital organization strategies.

As we celebrate 5 years of Virtual Coffee, this conference embodies our core values: supporting growth at all levels, creating meaningful opportunities for learning, and creating a welcoming tech community where everyone can contribute.

On Fridays, we solve a new puzzle at CSSBattle.dev. We meet in the #co-working-room for this Coffee Table, and can move our meeting to a breakout room so as not to disturb any co-working VC members.

Wind down and connect after a jam-packed day of learning and inspiration!

Join us at about 30 minutes after the conference for the VC Social. Bring your beverages 🥤 and snacks 🍿 of choice to this Zoom event where the conversation continues in a relaxed, informal setting.

Here you'll find something for everyone. This gathering is your chance to:

• Discuss conference highlights with fellow attendees
• Connect with speakers in a casual environment
• Share your own insights and experiences
• Play games and meet new community members
• Celebrate 5 years of Virtual Coffee with us!

Whether you're looking to dive deeper into conference topics, expand your professional network, or simply enjoy the chaotic chatter our members tend to induce 😉, our after party provides the perfect virtual space.

No agenda, no pressure—just community. Bring your favorite beverage and join us as we toast to new knowledge, new connections, and the collaborative spirit that makes Virtual Coffee special.

Come as you are, stay as long as you'd like! 💖
