SW2 Conference

SW2 is a conference devoted to the next wave of software development.

Over fourteen years ago, we started the highly successful conference, GlueCon. At that time, APIs were in their earliest incarnations and cloud computing was just getting started. Now, APIs and the cloud have exploded into industries that are the foundational elements of the software ecosystem. As those technologies continue to mature, deepen and advance, the new tools emerging around AI have clearly started to become key components of software development.

We believe that we are at the very beginning of the next wave of software development. This wave will build on the foundations of the cloud, and move forward into the rapidly advancing toolsets, infrastructure and operations powered by artificial intelligence.

SW2con is a conference dedicated to the full spectrum of this emerging software development wave. This includes WASM, containers, observability, APIs, DevOps and the deepening initiatives around cloud computing. In addition, we’ll explore AI Co-pilots and code assists and agents, vector databases, AIops, infrastructure and synthetic data requirements of AI development, and the entire LLM ecosystem.

If you’re tired of sales pitches disguised as talks, sessions that never do more than scratch the surface, throngs of people that seem more concerned with the after-parties than the education, and networking that has no lasting impact, then SW2con is for you.

SW2con is hand-crafted by the husband and wife team of Kim and Eric Norlin.

It is where a welcoming community of experts will gather to learn about what’s next, years before those topics will appear at other conferences.
