Giving users the best experience means moving fast and delivering continuously. But this comes with inherent risks. A movement has emerged around the idea that having dynamic control over your development and release processes enables you to make better software faster.
Learn more about the LaunchDarkly feature management platform in this half-day of technical training sessions focused on LaunchDarkly architecture and use cases. These focused sessions will give beginners and experts alike hands-on experience, in which they learn best practices and strategies for incorporating feature flags into development processes.
Discover how some of the world’s leading development teams use feature management for improved visibility, testing in production, and safer, progressive releases. When teams overcome the fear of breaking things, they collaborate more effectively, validate ideas faster, and have better control over what they put into the world.
At Trajectory Conference 2019, leading organizations shared about how they use feature management to build better software faster and with less risk. AWS, Slack, Atlassian, DataDog, HashiCorp, Seesaw, and others discussed their methodologies and best practices in detail. Watch these videos of the in-depth sessions that took place at Trajectory Conference 2019.
Trajectory is a one-day conference for teams who want to move faster and deliver more, continuously. We've noticed when teams aren't inhibited by the fear of breaking things, they can collaborate more effectively, get feedback and validate ideas sooner, and have a stronger handle on what they're putting into the world. So we are working to bring together teams who are leading the charge for better development and release practices so they can share their learnings and best practices.
Space Camp is intended for hands-on technical audiences. Attendees will spend a half-day with LaunchDarkly's experts learning how to get the most out of the feature management platform. The day will include instructor-led walk-throughs and self-paced hands-on exercises. These modules will be 20-30 mins in length and will cover use cases and other relevant topics.
There will be an effort made to accommodate participants at all skill levels, from beginner to expert. We will also provide content for three distinct personas: Software Developer, Rollout Manager, and LaunchDarkly Admin. While all content will be made accessible to all attendees, some content may be more relevant to some participants than others. You'll also have access to LaunchDarkly's team to learn and discuss best practices and ask questions in a collaborative, inclusive environment.
Yes this is yet another developer conference...or is it? We've seen how quickly the landscape has changed over the past few years. Teams that are continuously delivering are finding best practices and tools that help them move quickly without breaking things. We wanted to create a space where teams can share these learnings and have meaningful conversations.

We are hosting Trajectory at Bloc15 in the Jack London District of Oakland. This new event space in Oakland features designs by Bay Area artist, Nathan Richard Phelps. We will also host sessions in the adjacent Esports Arena and Oakland United Beerworks taproom. Bloc15, Esports Arena, and Oakland United Beerworks are all located on 2nd Street between Alice and Harrison Streets.
The event space is a 15 minute walk from the Lake Merritt Bart station, located on numerous AC Transit bus lines, one block from the Jack London Amtrak station, and a 10 minute walk from the Oakland Ferry Landing.
If you are arriving from Oakland International Airport, the Jack London District is a 15+ minute drive (depending on traffic), or 25 minute ride on Bart. If you are arriving from San Francisco International Airport, expect a 30-90 minute ride (depending on traffic), or a ~1 hour ride via Bart. For accurate trip planning and travel times, we recommend using Google maps.

What is Space Camp? And who is this for?
Space Camp is a half-day of focused training sessions for LaunchDarkly users. This event will take place on April 8th, the day before Trajectory, and will be hosted at the same location in Jack London Square. Participants will get hands-on experience learning more about best practices and strategies for incorporating feature flags into development processes. We'll also cover topics like managing feature flags across teams through the use of custom roles and permissions, and how to use the relay proxy.
