SCHEDULE

• 6:00PM - Doors open. Our team will be there to welcome you

• 6:30PM - Content Model Changes Done the Right Way with Rouven Wessling (https://twitter.com/rouvenwessling?lang=en), Developer Evangelist at Contentful (https://twitter.com/contentful?lang=en)

Content modelling might be one of the trickiest things to learn when getting started with Contentful - and no one gets it right the first time. When you can’t have perfection, the next best thing is change. With the new migration-cli Contentful is giving you the tools to implement that change - take what’ve learned since you build your application and migrate your content model to work for you.

• 7:00PM - The Power of the Headless with Dan Thompson (https://twitter.com/_DANTHOMPSON), Director of Emerging Technology at Perficient Digital Labs (https://twitter.com/perficient)

Dan Thompson's talk will walk us through how a Contentful-powered web site was quickly adapted for an Amazon Echo Show Skill. The overview will showcase the strength and flexibility of the Contentful API and how it can easily be adapted beyond the screen for IoT, Voice Controlled, AR, VR, MR and other experiences.

• 7:30PM - AMA open session with Contentful engineers and networking
