In 2025, DevFest Modena took its community experience a step further: BizzyNow, the Italian startup transforming professional networking, became the event’s official app.
BizzyNow is a location-based networking platform that turns downtime at events and conferences into opportunities for genuine conversation. Its goal is simple but powerful: connect the right people at the right time and make it easier to exchange ideas and knowledge.
For developers
DevFest is not only about talks and workshops; above all, it is about community. BizzyNow gave every developer a practical tool to:
- 📍 Discover who was nearby and find professionals with complementary skills.
- 💬 Share experiences and solutions in real time, turning a coffee break into a mini tech talk.
- 🤝 Exchange knowledge outside the official sessions and create new connections and future collaborations.
For companies
BizzyNow is not only for networking between developers; it is also a direct bridge to talent. Companies could:
- 🏢 Engage with attendees more directly and purposefully.
- 🌐 Strengthen their presence in the tech community.
- 🔗 Better understand developers’ profiles and skills through LinkedIn integration.
An Italian startup serving the community
BizzyNow’s mission is clear: make networking an opportunity for everyone to grow and share. At DevFest Modena, the app provided an invisible thread connecting people and offered a new way to experience the event: meeting, sharing, and growing together.
