Hands-On Sessions

Follow-along sessions of 75–90 minutes. Bring your laptop, build the thing yourself, leave with something that runs.

Times and rooms can change at any time, also during the conference. This page always shows the current schedule, check it on the day.

How the hands-on track works

  • Bring your own laptop. These are follow-along sessions, not demos.
  • First come, first served. Seats are limited by the room, there is no pre-registration.
  • If the room is full, only stay if you participate. Watching from the back takes a seat away from someone who wants to build.
  • Preparation notes (accounts, API keys, installed tools) are published with each session before the conference.
