Save the Date: RDC 2022

Updates Community & Events

Great and all, but it really sucks that the event takes place in September. Is there any specific reason over choosing a better month like July or August where a larger portion of the roblox developer community who is in school could attend in person (such as myself)? I found the virtual RDC this year to be incredibly underwhelming and kind of pointless because I couldn’t go in person due to it being in the fall. I understand that the admission is free for online, but it honestly felt like we were being treated as second class developers compared to those who could make it in person.

If the date can’t be changed, please make virtual attendance actually worth it and mean something compared to in person! :slight_smile:

It’s for the people who are really good at their craft or big devs. I am hoping to go this year since I live less than 30 miles from the convention center

#104

No. It’s a developer conference meaning that it is for developers of all abilities and skill levels.

#105

Wait so is the bloxys still going to be live streamed or will it just be RDC exclusive?

#106

If it was like that,the invites would have beginners

#107

Doing virtual this year if I get invited…school even tho I live 30 miles away

#108

It should do.

Do consider that RDC is full of learning resources and guest speakers that deliver content on best practices and how to improve as a developer.

#109

It isn’t intended for them…it’s intended for developers who been working for years or are great with their craft

#110

Can’t wait for this event! :fire:

See you guys in September.

I don’t see anything that tells you that this event is only for people who have been working for years and years or are “great with their craft”. In recent years the invite process has been unknown which probably means it is more random and indiscriminate than ever.

If it was based on developers who have been working for years and years, my invite must’ve got lost in cyberspace this last few years. I’ve been on the platform since 2010 and a developer since 2011.

This is incorrect, you must be at least 16 according to last year. @niceeadam - You must be invited to be able to access the RDC place.

All I was saying is that the invite process does not work to a science. They do it in phases based on unknown criteria and developers of all abilities have a chance of being invited.

If you were invited would roblox pay for your flight to San Fransisco?

#116

No, you must pay for flight tickets. Always a good idea to save up some money.

This!

I believe that Roblox should specify some form of requirement to get invited to the conference. I see people who genuinely aren’t too well known in the developer community compared to others get invited and I’m wondering how they managed to get in.

It appears that Twitter is the only practical way for me as of now. :+1:

Nobody is aware of how the invitation process works beside DevRel themselves, however if you analyze the patterns of people getting invited you can pretty quickly reach the conclusion that they aren’t based off of time spent on the platform solely
