Description

If you’re a tech company, you are likely publishing or consuming API’s already. API World is the first large-scale conference and expo with the goal of organizing this new API Economy. The API World 2019 Conference and Expo was created with the mission to be neutral and facilitate connections, knowledge, trust and business within the developer community of API providers and consumers. If you are a coder, a startup or an enterprise that consumes or provides multiple APIs this is your event.

The API industry has seen an incredible amount of technology innovation in the past decade, so this year at API World we are adding new conference tracks on the API Project Lifecycle: how to manage your API project from start to finish. Hear from Fortune 500 tech executives and Silicon Valley entrepreneurs how they planned, launched, and managed their API projects, both internal and external-facing. What are the most common pitfalls and errors that an API project team will make? How do microservices, swagger, GraphQL, API management tools, API analytics and security tools fit into the API project lifecycle?
