Hi {Boss’ Name},

I’d like to attend APIStrat taking place Sept. 24–26 in Nashville, TN. Vendor-neutral by design, the conference offers case studies, panels, session presentations and lightning talks that tap into emerging trends in API architecture and implementation, with a keen interest in material that provides clarity on the rapidly evolving, sometimes complex, landscape.

The track(s) that will benefit our business the most include {Insert Most Appropriate Track: accessibility, application development and APIs, artificial intelligence and machine learning, community and developers, serverless, internationalization, IoT, performance, progressive web apps, security, standards, testing tools and infrastructure}. You can view the full schedule here.

Additional topics/benefits of the conference include:

The event costs $599 through September 14. I would be happy to write a post-conference report and share with other members of the team on what I’ve learned and how we can implement tools and techniques into our business strategy.

Thanks,

Something for Everyone at APIStrat 2018

By Blog

APIStrat 2018 is just a month away and I could not be more excited for the lineup we have this year! The program committee did another exceptional job in bringing in a wide range of topics and speakers, opening up opportunities for practitioners across not only the entirety of the API lifecycle but all levels of technical expertise as well. Register before September 14 and save $200 off your conference fee. Come on down to Nashville for the premier API event of the year.

As we all know, there is not an industry or vertical that does not consume APIs in some form or fashion. Because of the broad scope of APIs that means every company should want to be a part of the conversation of what is happening next in APIs. At APIStrat, you can learn directly from the people designing the next evolution of the OpenAPI Spec and the tooling ecosystem it supports.

The First Batch Of APIStrat 2018 Nashville Keynotes Are Up

By Blog, Events

We recently published the schedule for APIStrat 2018 in Nashville, TN, and now we’ve published the first batch of keynote speakers for the event. We are pretty excited regarding the interest we’ve had in speaking at APIStrat this round, and the lineup we’ve managed to secure the main stage. Making for a pretty compelling set of voices for the 9th edition of APIStrat.

As we roll into August, we wanted to showcase four distinct voices we are bringing to the main stage in Nashville for this round of API Strategy & Practice:

We worked hard to continue bringing the leading API voices from across the space, but we felt it was also important to push forward the conversation on important issues that are relevant to the wider tech sector. We feel these four voices reflect the type of event we think the API sector needs in 2018, adding to the diverse set of personalities we’ve already brought together as part of the APIStrat session and workshop lineup.

Make sure you don’t miss out on the conversation this September 24th through 26th in Nashville, TN. Get registered for APIStrat 2018 today, and spend some time looking at the session and workshop lineup we have planned. We have more announcements coming so stay tune, and there are still opportunities to support APIStrat as a sponsor, so that you can help make sure the conversation that has been going on since 2013 continues.

We look forward to seeing you in Nashville September 24th through 26th!

A Shout Out to the APIStrat Steering and Program Committees

By Announcement, Blog

We are getting ready to close the APIStrat call for papers next week and we wanted to take a moment to give a shout out to the amazing lineup we’ve assembled as part of the steering committee, who are helping guide the event. As well as the folks on the program committee who will be helping review the talks submitted as part of the CFP process, and ultimately craft the program. These are the people who will help set the tone for the conversation that occurs at APIStrat in Nashville, and we are very pleased to have them helping out.

Here are the members of the APIStrat steering committee, playing different leadership roles in the conference, making sure everything gets done by September:

Steering Committee

Next up, we nineteen folks on the program committee who you will have to WOW with your talk submissions so that you can get on stage at APIStrat in Nashville:

Program Committee

Thank you so much to everyone involved. It takes a lot of work to pull together an event like this. Everyone involved is participating because they believe in the event, as well as the health of the wider API community. Once again, we feel like we have assembled a pretty amazing lineup of folks to help make sure APIStrat adequately represents the community, coming from a diverse range of companies delivering APIs and services to the sector.

While the primary roles for the event are filled, there are still plenty of opportunities to get involved. First, make sure you have submitted your talk–you only have one week left to get it in. Second, there are sponsorship opportunities available, and we need the financial support of the API community to be able to make the event happen again. Feel free to reach out, and we’ll see what we can do to get you involved, and part of the goings on in Nashville this year. Thanks again to our steering and program committee members, and we’ll see you all in September.
