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:
