Featured Talks Spotlight
Featured Talks will take place each day of the conference (Monday the 18th and Tuesday the 19th), in the 1:00 – 1:45 pm ET time block.
And similar to the keynote sessions we announced last week, the talks focus on topics we feel are applicable to a wide audience.
This year’s lineup of both sessions and speakers is impressive and should deliver a ton of value to conference attendees. Register now to attend and see them live!
*Please note, the below sessions are a mix of in-person and virtual sessions. In-person will be live streamed to the virtual platform. Virtual sessions will take place on the virtual platform only.
Monday, October 18

Learn With Jason, Extra Live!
Jason Lengstorf, Principal Developer Experience Engineer, Netlify
A live coding session with Jason Lengstorf. Watch and engage with Jason as he sets up and deploys a site with serverless functions (and maybe a database) – in real time. Pretty cool!
