Global Day of Coderetreat 2024

This year’s Global Day of Coderetreat (GDCR) 2024 was a milestone for our community: for the first time, we hosted the event in two locations simultaneously—at Wingtra in Zurich and megazord.studio in Bern!

At Wingtra, Andrew Magerman once again took the lead in hosting an outstanding event. Their offices provided the perfect environment for creativity, allowing participants to fully immerse themselves in the exercises. The space, the atmosphere, and the people made for a truly inspiring day. And of course, the food was fantastic, keeping everyone energized and engaged.

Meanwhile, at megazord.studio in Bern, Pablo hosted the event in an equally incredible setting. The location, right next to the river, offered a unique experience—we could even watch the bears in their park during breaks! The catering was nothing short of magnificent, with a selection of deliberately chosen food to support focus, creativity, and learning.

Across both locations, the sessions were engaging, the people were fantastic, and the atmosphere was perfect for learning, experimenting, and improving. Whether it was diving deep into TDD, exploring new programming paradigms, or reflecting on the craft of software development, everyone walked away enriched by the experience.

A massive thank you to Andrew, Pablo, Wingtra, and megazord.studio for making this possible. The first dual-location GDCR was an absolute success, and we can’t wait to do it again next year!
