Iris Marín
Founder — Foldline Studio
"The long decade of shipping a browser."
Two days of unhurried conversation with the people shipping the web's most interesting, most human software. No keynotes at dawn. No vendor booths. Just good work, explained plainly.
A gathering for people who take the craft of software seriously, without taking themselves too seriously. Six years running. Still the same small room.
01 — Stories
No evangelism, no thought leadership. Talks are 25 minutes about something the speaker actually shipped, including the bits that didn't work.
02 — Room
Capped at 600 attendees. One stage, no breakouts competing for your attention. You'll leave knowing the people you sat next to.
03 — Pace
Long lunches, long coffees. The hallway is the conference. We schedule around that, not against it.
Program — Speakers
Founders, independents, researchers, and practitioners — chosen for what they've built, not the size of their following.
→ Final four announced in June
