HACKING WITH SWIFT: Live!
If you like Hacking with Swift, you'll love Hacking with Swift Live! This is a new, in-person iOS event covering everything new from WWDC19 plus a variety of core skills and techniques, all packed into two days of learning.
Even better, all profits go to charity!
The first day Paul is inviting some of his favorite speakers around the world to come and inspire you with new ideas and techniques.
Day two is hands-on: we'll be working through all-new projects teaching you everything you need to get up to speed with WWDC19 and Swift 5.0
Meet old friends and make new ones – Hacking with Swift is a friendly, welcoming, and inclusive community where everyone can take part.
All profits will go to charity. Yes, really. Come and build your Swift skills, meet new folks, and help make a difference to those who need it.
For the first time ever, Hacking with Swift is happening live and in person. We're busy putting together a program of events that will help everyone get more from iOS and Swift:
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.
If you would like to join our event, reach a wide range of iOS developers from the UK, Europe, and beyond, and help support charity all at the same time, we would love to have you sponsor Hacking with Swift Live!
Please email paul@hackingwithswift.com and we can send you our sponsor pack.

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 conduct 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 during both days.
What's the agenda?
We're still working on the details, but the broad plan is for day one to be about inspiring you with new tips and techniques, and for day two to be as hands-on as possible. The Hacking with Swift style is all about giving folks the tools and resources they need to build great apps themselves, so when you leave Hacking with Swift Live you'll have lots (and lots) of code.
Will it be recorded?
Maybe. Please keep in mind we want to donate as much money to charity as possible, so we'll only make videos if we have the resources.
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.
I've never been to a conference before – will I fit in?
We want you to feel welcome, no matter whether it's your first conference or your hundredth. If you're traveling alone, if you don't know anyone, or if you just want a little help meeting people, let us know and we'll do our best.
What if I buy a ticket then need to cancel?
At about three weeks before the event we actually need to pay all the bills to make the conference happen – paying the venue, arranging food, ordering materials for attendees, etc. So if you need to cancel your ticket before June 17th you can get in touch and we'll help. After June 17th 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.
