Swift Craft is a new Swift developers' conference in the UK. Taking place at the Leas Cliff Hall in Folkestone, a theater built into the cliffs with floor-to-ceiling glass overlooking the sea on three sides, the event features international experts to engage, educate and entertain attendees. The organizers emphasize putting the focus back on the craft of writing Swift code, promising "more than just UIViews." A day before the conference (Sunday, May 17th), a self-organised group trip to Dover Castle is offered for early arrivals to meet people before the event starts.

mDevCamp is a mobile development conference held in Prague, now in its 12th year. It is created by mobile developers for mobile developers across Europe. The event focuses on "skills & stories" — what broke, what worked, and what developers would do differently when building real mobile apps. The conference prides itself on a unique atmosphere described as "a bit punk, a bit nerdy," combining serious technical deep dives with a festival mindset.

Swift Rockies is the premier practitioner-focused iOS conference in Canada, taking place July 22-23, 2026 in Calgary, Alberta. It is a retreat-style, single-track conference with a strict cap of 180 attendees to preserve an intimate, focused atmosphere. Instead of classroom rows, everyone sits at round tables, and there is no speaker green room—speakers join tables before and after their talks. The conference features two days of hand-picked technical talks, real-world war stories, and optional pre- and post-conference workshops led by industry leaders. Organizers emphasize "no filler panels, no sponsor keynotes." Every session is selected to make attendees better at their craft. The venue is the Calgary Zoo, chosen for natural light, outdoor views, and a retreat-like feel. Speakers include engineers from Shopify, Figma, Wealthsimple, Lightspeed, theScore, Steamclock, and Tuist. The event also includes a live podcast recording of Launched with Charlie Chapman, plus WWDC-style "Labs" where experts solve coding problems live. The schedule is engineered around focus cycles, with 90-minute blocks, hardest content in the morning, and dynamic formats in the afternoon.
