More about UIKonf
UIKonf will be a special, intimate event. We aim at a maximum of about 200 participants. We’ll provide a full day of all things relevant for iOS developers:
-
On the stage, speakers will dive deeply into technical topics. The speakers will partly be curated, partly recruited through our anonymous Call for Proposals. In total, we’re looking at roughly 10 talks (maybe more).
-
In break out rooms, you will have the opportunity to hack on projects or explore topics in more detail in smaller groups.
-
Plenty of opportunities to exchange ideas with likeminded folks and your dev heroes in the common networking areas over snacks and drinks.
What makes UIKonf special?
We aim to make UIKonf an awesome event for you. Here are just some of the things we do to make this happen (besides excellent, in-depth talks, of course):
A gorgeous location, coffee by some of the best baristas in town, an all veggie, super yummy lunch buffet, lightning talks, student discounts, stylish schwag, a pub quiz, a party, an all-day hackday and a nice ride. We think that’s a good start, but that doesn’t mean we’ll stop there. Because UIKonf is for you, and we’ll do what we can to make it worth your time and money.
Tickets
Tickets are for sale. We have a very limited number of tickets available, so we’re releasing them in batches. The first batch is live now. First come, first serve: Get your ticket while they’re hot. This includes full access to the conference (with catered lunch and drinks), the party afterwards, the pre-registration evening and everything else we will come up with.
The fine print: If you buy a ticket and are picked as a speaker afterwards, you can choose to get a refund or resell your ticket. Otherwise, tickets are non-refundable, but you can transfer them to another person up to a week before the event. Just email us.
