Additional information

Talk descriptions and speaker bios are available on the event page.

With the aim of keeping the dialogic nature of offline events and maximize the learning potential for everyone, the talks will be followed by a longer Q&A assisted by an MC.

We know nothing can make up for in-person networking. However, we created a new API The Docs Slack workspace and we would like to invite you to join and engage in conversations during and between the virtual events. Q&A and unconference discussions are organized via Slack!

The virtual events are free.
