Local-First Conf is shaping up for a banger third year. We’ve confirmed some new great speakers including the CTO of Bluesky and the Founder of tldraw. The CFP (call for papers) closes in just one week, so get your proposal in before then, and stay tuned for full speaker announcements after that.

In the meantime: the standard ticket tier is almost sold out, so... 👉👉 get your ticket 👈👈 today.

SPEAKER SHOWCASE

Paul Frazee: CTO at Bluesky and co-designer of the AT Protocol. He'll be talking about the Atmosphere's ideals around open computing and how tackling scale is core to the mission.

Steve Ruiz: Founder of tldraw, an infinite canvas SDK built for local-first from the ground up. A former visual artist who taught himself to code at 30, Steve is one of the most creative builders in the space.

Armin Ronacher & Colin Daymond Hanna: Armin is the creator of Flask and Jinja and Colin was a Balderton partner and SoundCloud lead. They are co-founders of Earendil.

Seph Gentle: Independent researcher behind ShareJS, ShareDB, the eg-walker paper, and now Diamond Types: the world's fastest CRDT. One of the longest-running contributors to local-first open source.

And of course Martin Kleppmann, who we previously announced.

CFP CLOSES MAY 1ST

Johannes and Adam go deep on the themes for this year’s Conf and what we’re looking for in the call-for-papers submission:

The majority of our speakers this year are coming from the CfP. The selection committee this year is Adam Wiggins, Geoffrey Litt, Johannes Schickling, and Eileen Wagner.

Only one week left to get your proposal in, so don’t delay.

LAB DAY & AFTERPARTY

The conference is full two days of talks. After that, go deeper into building connections with a 3rd lab day and an afterparty, both included in the cost of your ticket.

Lab Day: a hands-on day hosted by Ink & Switch for anyone who wants to get deep into local-first tech. (July 14th day)

Afterparty: because we can't invite you to Berlin without inviting you to a Berliner Biergarten. Your first two beers (or other drinks) and a slice of pizza are on us. (July 14th, evening)

Thanks to our sponsors Cloudflare, Powersync, Bluesky, and Tangled for making this possible.
