Introducing ARCtic Conference

Community Showcase
1

Hi there,

Just letting you folks know that we are organising a new conference for Swift developers here in Oulu, Finland on March 11th-13th 2025.

It would be lovely to get lots of conference papers from this forum, so if you have interest in traveling to Finland and something on your mind you'd like to share with the community, please let us know!

The call for papers will open in August, but if you can't wait until that you can send us mail to contact@arcticonference.com, and tell us who you are and what's keeping you awake during nights.

More information about the conference can be found on our website.
