Vancouver’s longest-running community-led software conference is back for another day of spontaneous sharing, learning, and networking. Polyglot is an “unconference,” also known as open space: there are no pre-set speakers or talks. Instead, attendees pitch topics on the day, vote on them, and then lead the discussions, panels, and coding dojos themselves.
The event brings together around 300 developers, data scientists, machine learning engineers, product managers, UI/UX designers, and founders for 40 sessions across five time slots and eight rooms. As the name suggests, any language, tech stack, or combination is fair game.
