OpenAir 2016

Airbnb Engineering

OpenAir is the tech industry’s premier conference focusing on the intersection of our online and offline worlds.
<A TARGET="_blank" HREF="http://airbnb.io/events/open-air/" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Last year</A> we focused on scaling human connection, this year we are expanding on that concept. Open Air 2016 is about Getting Personal. As we continue to build products that are put to use in the real world and online, we need to consider how we understand people, what they want, how to connect them, and their impact on society. 
We’ll be discussing issues such as identity, matching, trust and safety, machine learning, reputation and much more.
This year we’ll have an incredibly robust set of speakers and panels to discuss these topics, including:
