Episode 6: Over-engineering SwiftLeeds

Did you pay attention? As is tradition, we ended SwiftLeeds 2024 with the Champion of Champions Quiz with questions from each of the talks, a fun fact about Leeds, and some utter chaos. Why not play along at home and post your score in the comments?

This episode we're excited to be joined by James Sherlock, who is the Technical Production Lead at SwiftLeeds. Together we chat through what running the conference involves including check-in, timekeeping, stage management and even live streaming.

Antoine van de SwiftLee joins us on SwiftLounge to give us both a motivational pep-talk. Antoine will be joining us at SwiftLeeds to give the very first talk of the 2024 conference: "From Side Project to Going Indie".

It's time for the second half of our breakfast chat with Adam. We talk about what makes SwiftLeeds such a special conference and the efforts that the organising team put in to make it as inclusive as possible.

With SwiftLeeds 2024 fast approaching, Anna & Oli sat down with Adam Rush, the founder of SwiftLeeds, to chat about the past, present and future of the conference. Tune in for some stories from previous years, exclusive secrets about the upcoming conference, and, most importantly: to find out Adam's favourite breakfast.

Join us on our first episode (second? We did index these with 0) where we yap at length and speculate about the new talk show, the drop in sessions, and more. And most importantly… a special guest joins us to discuss their SwiftLeeds drop in session!!!!!!

Welcome to SwiftLounge, the official podcast from SwiftLeeds.
