For this edition, the event has expanded the team to reach greater heights and has added Mark Boyd as the program chair and Keith Casey of as the local event chair.

Mark is veteran journalist in the API field writing for ProgrammableWeb and The New Stack: “As a writer documenting best practice examples and new knowledge in the API economy, I have always appreciated API Strategy & Practice as a great source for new contacts, emerging ideas and proven examples of how APIs are making a difference to businesses and communities. As program chair, I'm looking forward to adding to the successes of APIStrat's previous conferences by helping build an exciting program that highlights both leading API experts and practitioners.”
