Hacking with Swift: Live!

Last year Hacking with Swift Live was an in-person event, but with the current coronavirus pandemic that isn't possible in 2020. But we're not going to let that stop us!

Our goal is to bring people together from around the world to learn, network, make friends, and share our love of programming. More importantly, we believe in helping build others towards their own success, which is why all profits from the event go to charity.

Code of conduct: We strongly believe that everyone should feel welcome to attend Hacking with Swift Live without fear of discrimination, harassment, or abuse. As such, we have a code of conduct that and we expect all attendees to play their part in creating a welcoming, encouraging place for everyone to succeed.

Our conference is dedicated to providing a harassment-free conference experience for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, religion (or lack thereof), or technology choices. We do not tolerate harassment of conference participants in any form. Sexual language and imagery is not appropriate for any conference venue, including talks, workshops, parties, Twitter and other online media. Conference participants violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from the conference without a refund at the discretion of the conference organisers.

If at any point you have problems, questions, or concerns you should contact either Paul in person or by email, or speak to one of the organizers. These people will be highlighted during the opening of the first day, and are available to help at all times.

You can buy tickets using the form below, but if you don't see it click here for tickets.

What's the agenda?

We'll be covering all the major new APIs announced at WWDC20, and if we have time we'll cram in some extra workshops on general iOS development. There will be lots of time for you to get busy coding yourself, with Paul and others available to answer questions.

Will it be recorded?

Yes! All attendees will get copies of the videos, so they can rewatch them later.

Which workshop days does my ticket get me?

Your single ticket gives you access to all four workshop days, and all four days will be different so we'll cover a huge amount of ground. If you can't attend part or all of a day, that's OK – we'll still be providing you with all the videos so you can watch them later.

Am I too junior?

It's hard to put on a "Goldilocks event" where the talks aren't too hard or too easy, but "just right". However, the goal is to make sure we have something for everyone: we'll do our best to make sure there's a spread of challenges that will suit relative newcomers through to experienced developers, and we'll have mentors on hand to help answer questions.

What if I buy a ticket then need to cancel?

At about four weeks before the event we actually need to pay all the bills to make the conference happen, so if you need to cancel your ticket before June 15th you can get in touch and we'll help. After June 15th we have literally spent your money to make the event happen, so refunds are no longer possible – you should either re-sell your ticket or give it away.

Will Paul's dogs be there?

We can't make any promises, but… 🐺🐺

Hacking with Swift Live is a community-run event run by volunteers – these folks are giving up their time so we can donate everything to good causes. If you have any problems, concerns, or questions before, during, or after the event, they are here to help.
