Building an API? Get yourself to The Platform Summit

    Think about all the buzzwords driving this and the next generation of tech, like wearables, cloud computing, and the Internet of Things. Business value is driven by new types of communication, which should be built on the foundation of a good API strategy.

    In order to foster these best practices, we’re pretty lucky up in Northern Europe to have one of the few conferences devoted to APIs, dubbed The Platform Summit and hosted by the same folks behind the regional NordicAPIs events. “The event is taking place in Stockholm on October 21 and 22nd, Lustikulla Konferens & Event center with workshops being held on October 20th.”.

    According to the organizers, over 200 attendees are expected to turn out for the keynote speeches, presentations, unconference, demos, and an exposition, and the goal is to be able to walk away with actionable insights to form strategies and software architectures.

    Keynote speakers from the event include Kin Lane, one of the world’s most well­ known API thought leaders; Dennis Bjørn Petersen, Platform Architect at LEGO; and Erik Michaels­Ober, Developer Evangelist for SoundCloud.

    We at ArcticStartup were lucky to attend NordicAPI’s last conference in Stockholm and found good contacts, humble organizers, and plenty of eye-opening content.
