COVID-19 update

Following the growing concern about COVID-19 we’ve made the difficult decision to postpone this year’s New York conference until August 11 & 12, 2020.

We work with dozens of speakers, sponsors, vendors and partners, and start planning the event more than a year in advance so this wasn’t an easy decision. But the health and safety of the community comes first.

We appreciate your patience as the situation has evolved and really look forward to seeing you at Lead Dev New York conference in August.
