LoFiUnconf in St Louis after Strange Loop

Local First Software Unconference

In St Louis after Strange Loop, on Saturday, September 23rd, 2023

A community event for everybody interested in local-first software in St. Louis, MO.

​We particularly want to bring together people who are actively working on local-first projects — be it building frameworks or tools, developing local-first apps, or doing research in the area. But we also welcome people who are simply curious and want to learn more about the topic.

​The event will have an informal unconference style. Instead of a series of long presentations, we will have self-organized discussion groups around your topics of interest.

Registration is currently full. Add your name to the waitlist - we will be doing a final announcement on Friday.

Organizers:

  • Brooklyn Zelenka
  • Martin Kleppmann
  • Peter van Hardenberg

​Thank you to Fission, Ink & Switch, and DXOS for sponsoring the event.
