The set list is officially out! 🎸
I've been looking forward to sharing this one.
We've put together three days of conversations, practical sessions, and some really talented people from across the Swift and iOS development community.
One of the things I wanted to do differently with Swiftsonic was bring newer voices together with established speakers. You'll see that reflected throughout the lineup, with our openers and headliners sharing the stage.
I'm proud of what we're building, and I'm looking forward to having everyone together in Nashville, November 20–22.
Take a look at the full agenda, find the sessions you're most interested in, and come join us!

a really big thanks to all those @Apple, @AppStore who made this happen. it's been a long work in progress! 🥳
there were people there at Apple who wanted to make this work, and I really appreciate the time and effort dedicated to giving a dev like me, making a to-do list app, a chance to showcase some of the new features with Siri AI 💙🎉
more to come! 🫡

The best advice given to me for when to ask for a review was from @benfreiband
“Ask for a review after the user has had a positive experience in your app”

Incredibly grateful for Apple on recognizing my contributions in the developer community and featuring so many amazing people across the globe!
I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for the community that got me started and helped me grow. I owe a lot to a number of people mentioned here, and more. Thank you! ❤️

One month until #WWDC26! Apple folks: There is still time to make some Lil Finder Guy mystery boxes as swag. I think we all know that kind of swag would be extremely popular 🤩
