API The Docs Virtual is an online event series for everyone who embraces API documentation as a crucial aspect of a great developer experience.
API The Docs switched its format to virtual in April 2020 and seven virtual conferences have been organized since then. Having experimented with many setups and tools, the team intends to continue the format with live talks on a bi-weekly basis with 2-3 speakers at each occasion.
The first season touched upon a wide range of topics, from API strategy to dev doc trends and user journey iterations. Season 2 continues in a similar manner; putting various industry practices in focus. It welcomes every story from banking, fin tech, logistics, location technology, telecommunication, media, automotive, etc. segments of the API economy.
