F5 Architecture Track Sessions - AppWorld 2026
AppWorld 2026 in Las Vegas introduces a new type of Academy Session: The F5 Architecture Track.
The Architecture Track will include six, two hour sessions provided by some of the most recognizable, and most experienced, faces on DevCentral:
MichaelOLeary, Matt_Mabis, MattHarmon, Rawdata, GarlandMoore, & Gee_Chow.
The Sessions
Each session will dive deep into their subject and the presenters are developing each syllabus right now. When I heard about this I asked the organizers if they would like your input - and they agreed!
I know our community prides itself (themselves? ourself?) on collaborative ideas so I am throwing open the replies - looking for your guidance.
Your Input is welcome
- Which sessions do you consider must-see?
- In those sessions, what would you MOST like to talk about?
Drop your thoughts in the comments and help shape these sessions to best serve you, the community, and those in attendance.
