**About our speaker sessions:**

Gabor is a senior engineer at F5, working on NGINX Unit - an application runtime, - previously at a startup bringing WebAssembly to the edge. He spends his time figuring out how to safely run client code fast.

His talk is titled **'Go + WASM: run untrusted code safely'**. WebAssembly keeps popping up in all different places nowadays. Image editors on the web are written in it. Docker added support to their desktop app. Doom was compiled onto it. What exactly is WebAssembly, why is this useful, how do we run untrusted code safely, and how to do that from within a Go application?

Will has worked for three years as a software engineer managing cloud infrastructure with Golang in TikTok and CrowdStrike. He is currently studying a Master's degree in Computer Science at the University of Oxford.

His talk is titled **'The Batteries included the Standard Library'**. Go boasts a powerful standard library which is often neglected in favour of heavier libraries and frameworks. Problems may then arise when cursory imports inflate the cognitive complexity of the codebase, increasing the chance of dependency conflicts, and ultimately slowing productivity. In Will's talk, he will cover some of the incredibly useful features the standard library offers and provide lean alternatives for several popular Go modules.
