What was RealtimeConf?

“It’s not a conference. It’s a platform for imagination.” – Eran Hammer

RealtimeConf assembled the diverse developers and doers pushing forward the bleeding edge of the web. The &yet team put our whole crazy/creative/risky hearts into it, hoping to inspire our community to help bring open communication to the Open Web.

We used storytelling, theatre, music, and multisensory design to create something we’re tremendously proud of.

You can feel the love that went into this conference.
