The Kotlin Conference 2017 will be kicking off tomorrow!

JetBrains, a Prague-based software development company will be hosting its very first 2-day Kotlin Conference in San Francisco starting tomorrow, November 2nd. The event was organized by JetBrains to thank the Kotlin community and to share some of the most exciting things that happened with Kotlin.

So, what is Kotlin?

Kotlin is a statically-typed programming language that runs on Java virtual machine and can also be compiled to JavaScript source code or use the LLVM compiler infrastructure. The program was unveiled in 2011 by JetBrains. It was named after the Kotlin Island which is found near St. Petersburg. The first version of Kotlin, Kotlin v1.0, was released in February 2016 to boost the sales of IntelliJ IDEA, JetBrains’ Java integrated development environment.

Now, after over a year, the company has seen a huge growth in the adoption of Kotlin, “represented not only by the lines of Kotlin code on GitHub,” but by the number of companies that reached out to JetBrains about the programming language’s use as well.

The Kotlin Conference will be a community event, and the company greatly encourages members of the Kotlin community to come and participate. Last April, the company opened the Call for Papers, a way for people to submit talks on things that they’re doing with Kotlin.

Now, after months of preparation, the program has been finalized! Here are the speakers and some of the agendas for the Kotlin Conference.
