A free, two-day technology conference bringing software development and cybersecurity learning to Hetauda
HETAUDA, MAKWANPUR — August 20, 2026:
A new technology-focused conference is coming to Hetauda this month, with DEV Community Nepal organizing the Secure Developer Conference 2083 on August 31 and September 1, 2026, at Hotel Dragon & Banquet, Hetauda.
The two-day event is open to technology enthusiasts from across Nepal and will be free to selected participants. The program brings together two areas that are increasingly connected in the technology industry software development and cybersecurity.
The conference is Powered By Hetauda School of Management and Social Sciences (HSMSS) and is led by Abhishek Adhikari, Co-Founder &Sushant Rimal Founder of DEV Community Nepal, as the Lead Organizer.
From Development to Security
The first day of the conference will focus on the tools and practices developers use to build and collaborate on software.
GitHub Conference Day will cover areas such as Git and GitHub, open source, AI, DevOps, cloud computing, CI/CD and developer productivity.
The second day will shift the focus toward digital security.
Cybersecurity Conference Day will explore ethical hacking, secure coding, cyber defense, AI/ML, prompt engineering, full-stack development, observability and open-source technologies, alongside discussions around cybersecurity career pathways.
Rather than treating development and security as separate subjects, the two-day format provides participants with an opportunity to see how the areas connect in modern technology work.
An Event Open to Nepal’s Technology Community
The conference is intended for students, developers, cybersecurity learners and technology enthusiasts, with participation expected from different parts of Nepal.
The organizers are expecting representation and particularly from Hetauda, Chitwan, Birgunj and surrounding areas.
For many participants, the conference will be an opportunity to meet people outside their usual academic or professional circles and learn about technologies and practices they may not encounter in their regular coursework.
The program includes practical sessions, workshops, mentorship, career guidance and networking opportunities.
Free Registration, With Participant Selection
There is no participation fee for the conference.
Because the venue has limited capacity, interested participants need to register through the official event page. Registration is a request to attend and does not by itself guarantee a place. The organizing team will review registrations and select participants, who will then receive confirmation.

The event is intended to remain accessible to participants from different parts of Nepal rather than being limited to a single local community.
HSMSS Supporting the Event
Hetauda School of Management and Social Sciences (HSMSS) is supporting the conference as its Powered By institution.
The involvement of HSMSS adds an academic dimension to an event centered on practical technology learning. It also creates a setting where students can engage with technology beyond conventional classroom instruction.
For participants, the conference provides a chance to explore current tools, understand industry practices and have conversations around possible technology careers.
Local Leadership and Community Coordination
The conference is being coordinated in Hetauda under the leadership of Abhishek Adhikari, Co-Founder of DEV Community Nepal and the event’s Lead Organizer.
The local organization involves coordination among students, educational institutions, technology communities and other partners involved in bringing the conference to Hetauda.
The event also reflects the growing role of regional technology communities in connecting local students with opportunities and networks from across Nepal.
A Wider Initiative by DEV Community Nepal
The conference is organized by DEV Community Nepal, a community-driven organization working around technology education, skills development and collaboration.
Its activities include training programs, workshops, seminars, conferences and practical projects involving students, youth, companies and technology communities.
The organization has reported 150+ sessions, trainings and workshops, six tech meetups, one hackathon, 100+ national collaborations, 25+ awareness campaigns and one bootcamp.
The Secure Developer Conference forms part of that broader effort to create opportunities for technology learning and community interaction in Nepal.
Why Hetauda?
Holding the conference in Hetauda gives the event a regional dimension.
Students and developers in the city can participate alongside people coming from other parts of the country, while visitors get an opportunity to engage with Hetauda’s own student and technology community.
For the organizers, the event is less about positioning Hetauda against other technology centers and more about creating another place where Nepal’s technology community can meet.
A national conference taking place outside Kathmandu also adds to the growing number of technology activities happening across different cities of Nepal.
