Two more Russian cities will join the international chain of conferences led by the Google Developer Group in November. This time, the Nizhny Novgorod community is holding an event on a special scale: the conference will last two days, the first of which will be completely given over to practical classes on various technologies (Android, Flutter, Google Assistant, Golang, Angular, machine learning), the second - for reports from experts from Germany, France, Holland, Turkey and Russia. In St. Petersburg, the shorter duration will be compensated by the composition of the participants (specialists from Google, JetBrains, Yandex, New York Times) and the coverage of topics (web, mobile development, cloud, etc.). Full programs are available on the individual conference websites.
When: 16-17 November

The Microservice Architecture Conference sets itself an ambitious goal - not only to summarize existing knowledge, but also to find answers to questions that have so far remained open. The main vectors of discussion are microservice modeling, the possibility of their application, external and internal integration, the transition from a monolithic architecture to a microservice one, testing, deployment, monitoring, security issues, and, finally, evolutionary architectures. The program consists of a mixture of reports and workshops designed for developers of different levels.

The new, improved version of the Dart Community Conference now brings together the development of applications on Dart and on Flutter. About 250 participants are expected, including speakers from several countries - representatives of Google, Wrike, EPAM, Yandex. From their presentations, the audience will learn a lot about both technologies: state management, working with non-mobile platforms, creating interfaces, preparing a graphics core on Flutter, checking types, creating a simulator, using zones in Darts. In the evening, participants will be invited to return to the meetup origins of the conference and discuss everything that remains undiscussed in a more relaxed atmosphere, over craft beer.

A colorful and eventful event for those who are just deciding on their future career path - students and high school students. Here you can get to know the content of a particular profession in the IT field, communicate with future employers and find out their requirements, look at the projects of various IT companies in the exhibition area, and try yourself in eSports. But, perhaps, the most valuable thing is three streams of master classes that will be held on the site throughout the day: participants are offered a choice of development track (machine learning, backend, web, Android), game development (Unity, Construct 2, Game Maker ) and a mixed track of design and marketing.

The traditional conference on machines that speak invites experts to discuss the latest news from the world of voice assistants and chatbots. As always, separate programs have been prepared for business owners who implement solutions and developers who create them. The technical part of the conference consists of three sections: development vectors and perspectives for developers (ecosystem problems, VUI design), technologies and platforms (speech recognition and synthesis, speech analytics) and, finally, a section of case studies from practicing developers (imitation of emotions, life hacks for practicing voice skills, features of creating a bot for calling customers). The site will also host a master class on automating work with logs and training NLU models.

And one more event dedicated exclusively to working with data, but much less intimate. The conference is designed for a wide range of listeners (heads of companies, developers, analysts, students of technical specialties), and the program is structured taking into account the interests of all these groups. In Hall A, reports of a general theoretical nature will be read out (introductory lectures on AI and speech recognition, tips on automating processes, finding solutions of the required level of complexity, and forming an educational and career strategy). Hall B is a place where practical problems are discussed: stages and features of data science projects, long-term model training pipelines, attitudes towards machine learning in business. Hall C is given over to the analysis of specific cases from analysts and developers. Finally, Hall D is the meeting point for the most advanced, where hardcore technical issues (Catalyst.DL, synthetic data in deep learning, data science for music generation and aluminum production) will be discussed.
