Slides and Resources (2021)

Many of our KCDC speakers choose to make their slide deck presentations, code repositories, or other resources available to attendees of our conference. While we do not release video recordings of KCDC talks and workshops, this is still a great way to access information and recall what you learned during the event.

Later this summer, this page will be updated with links for the sessions that will be coming as part of #kcdc2022. But do not fear! When that happens, we will archive this page of 2021 content and keep it available for all to access.
