API The Docs Amsterdam 2023

Developer Success: Looking Beyond Developer Experience

The conference on Day 1 will focus on developer success, the next key objective for API/developer programs that goes beyond developer experience. The speakers and panelists will share their perspective and specific challenges with ensuring developer success for an API program.

The unconference on Day 2 will be a deep-dive in the same topic, where we give space to API / developer portal teams to explore what they mean by developer success, how they can enable it, and what practices are already out there to ensure it. The ultimate aim would be a participative knowledge sharing between various API programs and developer portal teams, in a tech stack and vendor neutral way.
