why

We’ve seen a fresh wave of interest in event-driven architectures thanks to serverless computing, microservices, machine learning, IoT, and the desire to make modern applications more intelligent, dynamic and resilient.

Yet, event-driven thinking in design, architecture, technology, organization and culture still eludes many.

Let’s change that. Together, we’ll share best practices, patterns and predictions, focused on leveraging event-driven design to build a new application experience, improving action, analysis and productivity, empowering to all.

This conference is where that story starts.
