A photo of a type writer with the local first sigil in the paper, a notebook that says Lab Day, hosted by Ink & Switch, with an automerge sticker sheet. There is a clipboard saying Coffee Science and a coffee cup.
Lab Day will not be purely filled with talks - but also show live demos, creative experiments, and community projects.
A collaborative day thatβs part unconference, part showcase, and shaped by the ideas that animate our community.
Lab Day is included in your ticket localfirstconf.com

The panel at Sync Conf 2025 brings together @tannerlinsley.com, @jamescowling.dev, @schickling.dev and @aaronboodman.com for a deep dive into challenges and tradeoffs between the technical approaches being explored in sync today.
It was agonizing to choose from among the 34 excellent submissions, but here are the four talks selected from our CFP process!
Host of Latent Space and AI engineering master @swyx.io is joining us at Sync Conf 2025. Tastemaker, product builder, and voice behind AI Engineering Summit.
Sunil Pai from Cloudflare will present at Sync Conf 2025.
Sunil is the creator of Partykit, and now working on edge computing with D1 + Durable Objects. He'll speak about how sync engines are a perfect fit for building agentic AI apps.
Carl Sverre @f0a.org of SQLSync is speaking at Sync Conf 2025 on partial replication.
He takes a slightly contrarian view: no CRDTs, but instead block-level replication. Hear all about it on Nov 12.3
Welcome Frank McSherry @frankmcsherry.bsky.social to Sync Conf 2025. Pioneer of sync technology, inventor of Differential Dataflow, and founder of @materialize.com, Frank will trace the evolution of sync and stream processing.
With rising user expectations set by apps like Linear, Figma, and Notion, the next generation of software will need sync engine technologies to meet the new quality baseline." @schickling.dev
"From developer experience to user agency and data ownership. Different motivations unite into a stronger coalition for local-first tech." @adamwiggins.bsky.social
"Sync is predicted to be a key technology for the coming years. This one-day, 300-person gathering could be remembered as a seminal conference. That group of people who all went on to do amazing things. " @thruflo.com
Sync seems to be having a moment among web developers!
"Should companies build their own sync engine or rely on off-the-shelf solutions?" @schickling.dev. A topic at Sync Conf.
Our second #special is out.
Following the great success of @localfirstconf.com in Berlin, we're excited to share more about the vision for SyncConf 2025 in SF.
Full episode links and show notes in the comments.
Lee Byron @leebyron.bsky.social is the co-creator of #GraphQL, now at #OpenAI. He'll be speaking at Sync Conf 2025, breaking down how sync powers the next wave of agentic systems.

Early bird tickets are gone! Weβre counting down to the talks, the ideas, and the conversations in SF.
