Share Your Story

Swift Dubai is built on the sharing of knowledge. We are looking for engineers, designers, and creators to share technical insights, project learnings, and platform expertise.

Talk Formats

Regular Talk (20 - 25 minutes)

Deep dives into framework internals, design systems, modularization architectures, or new APIs (e.g. Swift Concurrency, SwiftUI Layouts).

Lightning Talk (5 - 10 minutes)

Quick tips, open-source library showcases, developer tools, or workflow improvements. Perfect for first-time speakers looking to share a bite-sized technical insight.

Indie App Showcase (2 - 5 minutes)

Showcase and promote your published App Store creations! Pitch your app to our community of engineers and tech leads, explain your tech stack or SwiftUI layouts, and share lessons learned from shipping to production. We'll help feature and promote your app across our local UAE developer network.
