Talks
1) How to Maximize Your Digital Investments in a Down Economy
API management plays a crucial role in digital transformation, fostering collaboration, and enabling organizations to stay competitive in today's interconnected business landscape. We believe this event will provide a unique platform for collaboration, exploring some cutting-edge strategies and networking with some industry peers.

Come join us for a little "Taste of Texas" from local vineyards and hear from Improving and Kong for how we are helping brands like Wayfair, Paypal, Comcast and others build, operate and govern an ever increasing business and innovation challenge.

2) Shifting API Strategy to Meet Modern Complexity
With the adoption of microservices in parallel to macrotrends of proliferated data, environments, clouds, containers, and modern design protocols, API infrastructure has become a bottleneck to keeping up with internal demand, go-to-market pace, and security requirements. Come discuss the current trends and complexities you now need to plan for and learn strategies of how to solve and scale for growing API requirements both internally and externally.
