A community that grows the way root bridges do

The Meghalaya Dev Community is a non-profit, entirely volunteer-run community of developers, UI/UX and graphic designers, students, teaching faculty and founders in Shillong. Membership is free and open. There are no gatekeepers.

Nobody here takes a salary or a cut. For years, every event was paid for by core members putting their own money in and settling up afterwards — ₹579 a head in 2022, ₹528.50 in 2023. That's the kind of community this is.

2020 → today

2020
The first Dev.Connect. A small room, a big idea: Shillong's builders should know each other.
2022
The comeback: 104 registered, 86 came. Cake was cut, Symphony played, and a tradition took shape.
2023
The biggest yet — 150 registered, parallel Flutter and IoT tracks, a live stream. Students became the heart of the room.
2024
A leaner, hands-on edition at St. Anthony's — and the year the spreadsheets finally broke. This platform is the answer.
2026
The fifth edition, aiming for 200+, run on software the community built for itself. You're looking at it.
