Wix’s first-ever developer conference is taking New York by storm this September, with two days of talks, workshops, networking events and more. Attendees will be the first to hear about new Wix products and have the opportunity to meet and exchange ideas with Wix developers from around the world.
With less than a month before the conference (make sure to register to attend if you want to watch the livestream), we wanted to take a moment to introduce the speakers behind this year’s keynotes. The conference is broadly focused on the future of the Wix platform and each talk will show how developers can take their sites even further with new products and features. Here’s what you can expect from DevCon’s keynote speeches.
Avishai Abrahami: How Wix is changing the future of web development
Wix CEO Avishai Abrahami will open the conference with a keynote presentation on the professional development experience with Wix. Products like Velo have created thriving communities of developers eager to use new features (like Velo’s support for npm packages) and Abrahami’s speech will introduce the audience to new developer tools and explore the current and future focus of Wix as it evolves into a developer-focused company.
Dror Zalika: Custom development like never before with all the simplicity of Wix
Wix’s Head of eCommerce Dror Zalika will discuss the future of eCommerce at Wix. Our eCommerce website builder has already helped businesses of all sizes build professional, feature-rich websites with all of the security and reliability they’ve come to expect from the modern web. Zalika’s keynote speech will explore the history of Wix’s technical architecture for eCommerce and show new customization options to help you buy and sell like never before.
Yaniv Vakrat: Build complex business integrations, for agencies and enterprise clients
The Wix editor has made it easy for anyone to create websites themselves. Yet as the platform has grown, many agencies have come to rely on Wix for their businesses, offering design, development, copywriting, SEO services, and more to clients who want to improve their online presence. Wix Chief Business Officer Yaniv Vakrat will explore a series of new business integrations that help make Wix even better for larger businesses and enterprise clients.
Yoav Abrahami: Power up your Wix site with professional developer tools
Every developer understands the importance of User Experience (UX). But creating code-oriented products requires an intimate understanding of how developers will interact with them. Yoav Abrahami, Chief Architect of Velo, will discuss Wix’s approach to Developer Experience (DX), and the company’s evolution from a “No Code” website builder into a “Code First” platform for professional web development.
Naama Aharoni and Guy Poraz: Reusability to radically simplify your design and development processes
Web development can require quite a bit of repetition. From creating duplicate pages with unique content to redundant integration with third-party services, many routine web development processes could be radically simplified with the right design patterns and access to the best tools. Senior Product Manager Guy Poraz and Web Developer Naama Aharoni will show how Wix developer tools can help make your code reusable to enable faster development.
