This year we had a total of 41 great speakers at GWT.create in Mountain View and Munich giving over 80 presentations. We asked the 656 attendees to rate the presentations on scale from 1–5 and got a total of 2377 votes.

Average ratings given was 4.0 / 5.0. Pretty good, eh?

Slides

Most of the speakers published the slides for their presentations. Slides are collected here.

Recordings

We set our team to record all the presentations. Unfortunately all the camera equipment was stolen in Mountain View after the first conference. Luckily the memory cards were not lost and even better, we were able to rent a full set of cameras, microphones and other stuff for the conference in Munich.

In the end, we were able to record all the presentations and will publish the recordings shortly on the Vaadin YouTube channel.

The first presentation - Ray’s keynote - is already available here.
