12 Months Streamed Live Around the Globe
Top Speakers, Great Learning, Q&A Sessions, Lots of Fun!
HOW IT WORKS
48 hrs of conference content streamed live around the globe
STREAMED LIVE | RECORDED FOR LATER
Everyone loves the LiveCode Conference – we know for many of you its the highlight of your year, and it certainly is ours! This year our incredibly ambitious feature delivery schedule is keeping us pinned to our desks, so rather than miss out, we’re holding the conference online. For one whole day every second month throughout 2018 LiveCode experts will join you for a conference streamed live around the globe. Now everyone can attend! Speakers from throughout the community, business and the LiveCode team will present features, showcase extensions and libraries, share development tips and inspiring stories.
All sessions will be streamed live between 2pm and 10pm UK time, covering popular timezones and giving you a great opportunity to participate live. Ask questions of the speakers and chat with other attendees. All sessions and Q&A will be recorded and available for streaming after the event if you can’t make it live. We’ll keep you up to date with everything we are doing, as we do it! We can’t wait.
What’s your story? We want to hear it! Go ahead and apply to speak!
