Show Notes

Join Suz and Dru as they sit down with indie iOS developer Mikaela Caron and Atomic’s new mobile engineering manager Matt Heaney. These two are not only passionate conference attendees—they’re frequent speakers, community leaders, and strong advocates for developer connection and growth. From how to break into speaking, to choosing your first conference, to eating your way through the Swift world tour, there’s something here for every dev.

Highlights from this episode:

  • How submitting a CFP (Call for Proposals) could get you into conferences for free—and help launch your speaking career.
  • Tips for discovering new conferences, including the magic of CocoaConferences.com.
  • How to network at conferences, even if you’re introverted—and why just saying “it’s my first time” can be a superpower.
  • Mentioned in This Episode
    • Fruitful — Mikaela’s app to stay connected with all the cool new friends you meet at conferences.
    • ​CocoaConferences.com, a curated directory of English-language conferences tailored for developers working with Apple’s platforms—macOS, iOS, watchOS, and tvOS.
    • iOS Conferences for Mobile Developers in 2024, dated now but many of these conferences recur annually.
    • Big List of Android Conferences in 2024, as with the iOS resource above, this needs updating, but many of these conferences will hopefully be around for years to come.
