What are your strategic business objectives when you are planning your API program?
Do you truly know why and how to improve developer experience, and why you are building a community?
What practices has your team evolved to ensure developer success?
API The Docs returns to Amsterdam for the third time! The format will mirror the event in 2019: single-track conference with selected talks and panel on Day 1, and unconference sessions driven by You on Day 2.
The conference will focus on developer success, the next key objective for API/developer programs. We'll explore the business-to-developers-to-business continuum and how API documentation and developer portals help you execute your business strategy. We'll hear talks from a wide palette of roles who narrate their perspective and specific challenges with ensuring developer success for an API program.
