Call for speakers open for Platform Summit 2024
Bill Doerrfeld | April 23, 2024
I'm getting excited for this year's Platform Summit, to be held October 7-9 2024. Speaker submissions are now open!
For those unaware, the Platform Summit is Nordic APIs' flagship API conference. Every year, we collect some of the brightest minds in the API industry for an intimate summit to discuss how to create top-tier API platforms. The event is now in its 7th year.
I'm helping review submissions for the event and we've already got some great submissions. But, we'd love to feature more API case studies and welcome newcomers. Talk submission details are here.
I'm also happy to chat if anyone would like to learn more or suggest topic ideas. Feel free to reach out on my contact page.
Here's a playlist of sessions from Platform Summit 2023:
What does it mean to go nano with your software updates — to "carve with a scalpel" instead of swinging a hammer? For my latest DirectorPlus piece, I caught up with Chainguard VP Dustin Kirkland to dig into that idea.
I recently moderated a webinar that brought together three luminaries in the API community to discuss the importance of API standards in agentic AI development.
The more folks use MCP servers in development, the more they’re realizing it can lead to runaway token usage, unpredictable response sizes, and flooded context windows.
Who really benefits from AI coding tools? New research suggests AI amplifies existing top performers more than average developers. Read my post on LeadDev.
Many say edge computing will enable the future of AI inference. For InfoWorld, I looked at the tech required, and the roadblocks to overcome to get us there.
Survey data from Zuplo finds rising MCP adoption, security concerns, and shows how developers are using MCP servers to connect AI with APIs in 2026.
Blockchain for everything, metaverse, big data, NFTs... In hindsight, what were we thinking? Today, I call out some of tech's biggest overhyped trends on InfoWorld.
Like any production software application, AI agents are producing a spectrum of metadata behind the scenes. Some are calling agentic metadata a “gold mine” to direct continual improvements.
My latest DirectorPlus column with LeadDev interviews Bedrock Robotics' CTO, Kevin Peterson, on what it takes to develop highly adaptable and safe autonomous machines.
I explore some tips to help speakers craft solid pitches. The Nordic APIs speaker selection committee looks for these sorts of things, but the tips could apply to any tech event.
