Image Ready v1.2: more talks about modern image formats + their ecosystem
Details
Last year we presented an event that was about an inflection taking place: new formats emerging, and older ones ripe for updates.
We covered what was an introduction of formats to stable support in browsers such as AVIF, JPEG-XL, and conversations tooling and the ecosystem.
2021, we're excited to be back to look at some updated data. We're here to announce both the date, and the prelim of confirmed speakers (provisional titles):

2020 was the yr AVIF went stable in a browser + WebP secured footing in all major browsers. Paul will present an analysis powered by HTTP Archive to tell the story of adoption, popularity and other data point.
📸 A PNG retrospective by Thomas Boutell (@boutell)
The web's got so much interesting history, esp with the current group of legacy image formats. Thomas will join us to provide a historical perspective of the earlier days of the Portable Network Graphic and so much of what happened in its emergence.
📸 Auditing images using WebPageTest (@timkadlec)
Image loading in 2021 is not a walk in he park. But Tim Kadlek will walk us through how WebPageTest can be leveraged to not only make sure things are loading correctly, but everything happening during that load itself.
All talks will be 15 mins in length. We plan to announce a few more speakers to round it off. The day's event will be broken up w/ some very short intermissions.
