The Power of Boring – How the middle ground is often the best
​The anti-life-hack life hack. Want to be happy, fit, look good? Want to write code fast, that works well, and that clients love? Hamish will show you how with this one weird old trick you already know.

Increasing you PageSpeed score
Last year Matt decided to check out his own personal site in Google PageSpeed Insights. Even though it’s only a simple static flat-file site, Google didn’t give it a very good score. He decided to see if things could be improved. His talk covers what he discovered, and what he was able to do about it.

Have something interesting to share? We are always looking for people to speak and contribute back to the community. It could be a recent project you're happy with, a technical discussion, a module demo, or something else you think would be interesting to the SilverStripe community.
