When people think about tech conferences, they often imagine a predictable scene: endless slide decks, buzzwords everywhere, vendor booths shouting about the future, and awkward small talk during coffee breaks.
Luckily, that’s not how we roll at ESPC.
At ESPC, we gently (but firmly) encourage our speakers to ditch the 97-slide decks and show you what actually works. Live demos on stage? Absolutely. Scary? Also yes. But our speakers are brave (some even send a quiet prayer to the demo gods), and live demos make the sessions more engaging, more real, and honestly, more fun.
Learning is best when you’re in the driver’s seat, which is why Tutorial Day is packed with hands-on experiences. Bring your laptop, get involved, and build something. You’ll leave tired, but in the best way: Full of new skills, ideas, and confidence.
We’re proud of our partners and the innovation they bring to the Expo floor. It’s a vibrant, essential part of ESPC. That said, our technical sessions are focused on learning, not product pitches. The goal is to give attendees practical insights. It’s a balance we take seriously, and our sponsors truly support that approach.
You don’t need to be a rockstar architect or MVP to get value out of ESPC. Everyone’s welcome. While we are very proud to have a wide range of technical deep dive sessions on stage, we also offer intro-level sessions to help you build your foundation. Additionally, the Inspire Stage brings in sessions on soft skills, leadership, and communication, topics that help round out your professional toolkit.
Networking doesn’t have to mean forced smiles and handing out business cards like candy. At ESPC, you’ll find your people. And if you’re more on the introverted side, we’ve put together a few tips just for you (check them out here 👉 How to Survive a Conference as an Introvert (and Actually Enjoy It)
Yes, AI and Copilot are everywhere, it’d be strange if they weren’t. But we don’t treat them as hype. Our speakers are seasoned pros who walk you through how these tools are actually being used to solve business problems and deliver real value. No fluff. Just smart, grounded insights from people who’ve done the work.
So, will I see you in Dublin?
