We encourage you not to print the QR code, if possible.
Once you have the badge - you can enter the venue on the conference days without queueing up, just make sure to wear it in a visible manner. In case you are looking for the WiFi details, you’ll find it on the back of your badge.We had 2 schedule changes this month:
Ronna Steinberg’s Go Design workshop is not taking place. Everyone who was registered already picked an alternative workshop.
Ayesha Kaleem’s talk on KEDA is not taking place. Instead we’ve added an exciting conversation on Using Go in DevOps between Jonathan Amsterdam and Mat Ryer, and udpated the schedule (Thursday June 20) to accommodate. This of course does not affect the start and end times of the day.Monday June 17 is the Social Day
At 10:00 is the start of the Social Day, on this day you can get a ticket and join the historic tour of Berlin, private to the conference attendees.
At 14:00 begins the second part of the Social Day, with the Contributors Summit. There will be several round tables on Gopher-y topics, and you can join the different conversations freely.Tuesday June 18 is the Workshops Day
In case you booked a ticket for one of the workshop, we’ll see you at 09:00 for registration and a light breakfast. You already received the preparation instructions - make sure to read and download everything in advance to make the most of your day.
In case you didn’t book a workshop ticket, you are welcome to join us at the venue starting 14:00, when the TinyGo team will be around for a hardware hacking session. You can bring your own hardware, use some of the existing equipment or purchase directly your very own GopherBadge!
