Update Conference Prague 2018

The first year of the Update Conference Prague took place on 22nd and 23rd November. Before that, the .NET community could meet us at Update Days mini-conferences. These events happened several times a year, and were focused on specific topics like .NET Core 2.0, modernization of legacy applications or web application security.

We got amazing feedback on the first year, from both attendees and speakers. The conference was the largest .NET-focused event in the Czech Republic, with involvement of speakers from all over the world.

The attendees could also network and win prizes at the showcases of conference partners: Vistaprint, PostSharp and Kentico. They could also chat with the developers of DotVVM, an open source framework developed by RIGANTI.

Media Partners

Richard Campbell and Carl Franklin were the main stars of Update Conference Prague 2018. During the conference days, they recorded several episodes of their famous .NET Rocks! podcast. We were also glad that Martin Šimeček and Vojtěch Mádr, the authors of czech .NET.CZ podcast, were also at the conference.

One of our greatest priorities is to compose a diverse lineup of speakers representing different backgrounds and opinions. We partnered with Czechitas, a non-profit organization that helps young girls to succeed in IT. Together with Julie Lerman and Rabeb Othmani, two influential and successful speakers, we recorded a short interview about their career in IT.

Session Video Recordings

The conference offered three parallel tracks with 42 sessions. All of them were recorded. All the session recordings are available free for conference attendees. During the year we were gradually publishing selected session recordings on our Youtube channel.
