# ARM DevSummit

The Arm DevSummit (previously DevCon and Arm TechCon) is usually a three-day information technology conference held annually in October by Arm. The event is used to showcase new hardware, software and technologies using ARM processors. Arm DevSummit is also an event hosted for third-party software developers that work with ARM-powered devices.
The first ever DevCon was held in 2004.
Arm DevSummit was hosted as online-only conferences in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and in 2022 went fully virtual. There was no event in 2023.
