A Unique 2 Day Swift Conference in the Heart of Leeds
About
Founded by Adam Rush in 2019, SwiftLeeds has set out to bring a modern, inclusive conference to the north of the UK.
Ran by just a handful of community volunteers, SwiftLeeds is entirely non-profit with every penny going into delivering the best experience possible.
In-person conferences are the best way to meet like-minded people who enjoy building apps with Swift. You can also learn from the best people in the industry and chat about all things Swift.
