There will be an MC in the timezones covering Europe and Africa, another one in the timezones covering Asia and Oceania, and a third one live in North, Central and South Americas! If you’re currently based in a station on Antarctica these 3 MCs should cover your needs too. Take a look at the schedule to get an idea of how we'll make it work.

[ Speakers ]

Paul Hudson
Hacking with Swift

Paul is the author of Hacking with Swift, Pro Swift, Swift Design Patterns, Testing Swift, Server-Side Swift, Swift Coding Challenges, and more. Suffice it to say, he quite likes Swift. And coffee. (But mostly Swift.) (And coffee.)

Julia Potapenko

Julia is a Security Software Engineer at Cossack Labs, building convenient and affordable data security and encryption solutions. With background experience in iOS applications development, she helps customers to choose and implement security controls for their mobile products. Julia is passionate about local tech communities.

Orta Therox
Typescript at Microsoft

Look, so Orta helped build CocoaPods for close to a decade and contributed to almost every major iOS open source project while at the helm of Artsy's mobile team. Then, that team was dissolved a few years ago (there's a great summary of the history here), after that he started to move away from the iOS community to do some React Native stuff. That worked out well for a while but then totally dropped out of the scene to work on the TypeScript programming language.

So, does that make him a weird speaker for NSSpain? Yes. However, NSSpain has always had a special place in his heart as it was the first conference he talked at, in the first edition (2013) of the conference. So, where else would he think to make a brief come-back talk about this weird language (2nd most loved on the 2020 Stack Overflow survey) he works on in comparison to the language Cocoa developers use daily.

Michael May
BBC News (UK)

Sally and Michael have known each other since Sally took over a codebase that Michael had started. Despite Michael leaving Sally some decidedly questionable code (swizzling indeed!) they became, and remain, good friends. Since then they have gone on to a number of developer, and then technical leadership, roles at a some companies you may well have heard of. They’ve often shared their troubles, and their learnings, with each other, offering support, empathy and advice. However, despite all of this, and despite having both spoken individually at various events over the years - from local meet-ups to international conferences (including on more than one occasion at the same event) - they have never, until now, given a talk together!
