Comingsoon

Junior Accelerator is a Conference and Hackathon built for junior developers. Last year we brought together 120 attendees at JA Conf and 11 teams to the hackathon — and this year we're going bigger. Take a look at what we did in the past year.

JA CONF · 2025

Check the conf

Last year, JA Conf brought together 120 attendees for a day of talks from senior engineers, founders and business owners sharing valuable lessons from their professional paths. We had coffee, talks and banitsa. This year we are aiming for more people, more speakers, and even more knowledge shared during the two days.

JA HACK · 2025

Check the hack

Eleven teams of junior developers spent the weekend shipping their first hackathon projects — prototypes, design walkthroughs, and a lot of caffeine. All the teams were supported by mentors. Most of them spent the whole night building so they could be the team winning 1000 leva.
