About ArcticCon

Since its debut in 2017, ArcticCon has galvanized Anchorage's IT community with engaging sessions, hands-on workshops, and high-energy networking—bringing together developers, sysadmins, security pros, and tech enthusiasts from all corners of Alaska.

In 2025, we're taking it to the next level: spreading the event across two full days of deep-dive talks, interactive workshops (complete with on-site workstations), and brand-new Ask Me Anything panels where you can pick the brains of industry experts on everything from open-source projects to career strategies.

From morning breakout sessions and afternoon keynotes to our epic evening after-party, ArcticCon 2025 is the place to plug in, level up your skills, and leave inspired by the power of community.
