1/2 day of indie development talks
2 days of Swift and iOS talks
Josh Holtz founded Deep Dish Swift in September of 2022 out of a deep love for developer conferences.
Deep Dish Swift is a brand new conference being held in Chicago in 2023. The conference aims to bring together developers of all experience levels and backgrounds in an inclusive environment to share knowledge and experience from a diverse set of speakers.
The event will be kicked off on April 30th with a half day of talks focused on indie development. This is an experiment in replacing what would usually be a day of workshops. The following two days (May 1st and May 2nd) will be a single track focused on Swift and iOS development featuring talks from 14 talented speakers. Come meet and hear in person the voices you know and respect online.
Deep Dish Swift is being held at Loews Chicago O'Hare Hotel in Rosemont, IL.
Room Block: https://www.loewshotels.com/chicago-ohare/group-deep-dish-swift
It's easily accessible to attendees whether traveling by plane, train, or automobile. Loews offers a conference space that will give attendees a comfortable room to listen to speakers and a foyer to network and talk to our amazing sponsors.
The venue also is within walking distance of plenty of restaurants, the Rosemont entertainment district, and the Fashion Outlets of Chicago. There is also an Uber-able casino if you are into that kind of activity!
Loews is the perfect venue for Deep Dish Swift's first year.
Note: Attendees will receive information on how to book rooms within the Deep Dish Swift block to receive a lower room rate.
