API Platform Conference 2025: Dates and Details Announced
Published on February 17, 2025
A few weeks ago, we announced on our blog the anniversary of the very first commit of API Platform. The year 2025 is special for the framework as it marks its first decade. To celebrate this milestone and highlight the growing influence of API Platform, which has become an essential tool for building modern and high-performance APIs, we have planned several events. Among them is a memorable fifth edition of the API Platform Conference, where activities will take place throughout the two days to celebrate this special anniversary.
#See you in September in Lille
After a record-breaking 2024 edition in terms of attendance, the API Platform Conference returns on September 18-19 at EuraTechnologies, Europe's largest startup incubator, featuring a premium conference center. As every year, the event will be hybrid: in addition to taking place in Lille, it will be streamed live online. If you missed the previous edition, you can find the review page, conference replays, and the aftermovie on our YouTube channel:
Call for papers still open
The call for speakers is open until March 23, and we’ve already received many interesting topic proposals. Submit your talk, and who knows—you could be one of the thirty speakers representing this special edition. Topics and speakers will be announced on May 14. In the meantime, here are some topic guidelines to help maximize your chances of being selected:
