Title : Contract Programming with Kotlin 1.3
Summary:
Kotlin 1.3 introduced built-in support for Contracts to improve smart casting. In this talk, we will discover the “Contract Programming” principles and how to implement them in Kotlin. Although it is still immature and has limited capabilities, we will discuss the use cases and potential of Contracts in Kotlin’s future.

Second talk will be by Alexey Soshin, software architect for a taxi hailing company, who's recently published a book about Kotlin.

Title: "Design Patterns with Kotlin"
Summary:
"Design Patterns" by Gang of Four is one of the best known books about software. Some declare that those design patterns are obsolete, though. Are they? In this talk we'll cover some of them, and discuss whether they make sense in the Kotlin world.
