NERD Summit is a product of New England Regional Developers (NERD). It is an inclusive, community-building tech event in New England.  NERDS Summit is held in the INTEGRATED SCIENCES BUILDING at UMass Amherst in Amherst, Massachusetts.

Sessions will include talks on a wide variety of topics as well as panels and discussion groups. One area  is about an increased focus on Group Discussions. These Group Discussions (AKA Birds of a Feather or BOFs) enrich the Summit by providing an arena for sharing perspectives and problem-solving, commiserating with each other over similar challenges, and learning in an interactive and conversational way.
