With my API Magazine I am supporting and covering the APIDays edition in Berlin on May 5th and 6th. 

The APIDays are a global tour covering six cities: Barcelona, Berlin, Moscow, Paris, San Francisco and Tokyo. APIDays is also vendor-independent and genuinely wants to drive to API space forward and covers a wide range of topics such as scalability, versioning, developer experience, testing, mobile, security or business models. For a complete overview of the agenda see here. 

For the Berlin edition already 50 speakers in three tracks have confirmed and over 250 attendees are expected.

APIDays Berlin is solely focused on the builders of the web. The goal is to provide a great learning experience and an open forum to bring together the finest minds in the API space and foster dialogue.

I will organise and hold a workshop at APIDays about the elements of an effective developer program. I will invite some experts to present and discuss this topics. My objective is to highlight the importance of developers in the API value chain and also to inform about how to build a successful developer program.

I will provide more details about this workshop and the speakers soon.

You can sign up and get a ticket for APIDays Berlin here.

Below you can find a selection of the currently confirmed speakers.
