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](mailto: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](https://arcticonference.com). ---

Hello again everyone! The second edition of ARCtic was also a blast, so it's time for the third one. The call for papers is now open and **it'll close on October 16**. The dates for the conference are **February 2-4 2027** (+ ski trip in the weekend before) and it takes place again at Oulu, Finland. Hope this post will reach many of you, we'll get many talk proposals from the heart of you, and I'll see some of you around in February! Best, Jesse P.S. This year has been brutal for iOS conferences in Europe (four already announced of their retirement), so if you're just interested and have a possibility, please support the conferences around you.
