Swift Craft is a brand new Swift developers' conference in the UK. In a theater, set in the coastal cliffs of Folkestone overlooking the English Channel, this is an event with more than just UIViews!
With international experts to engage, educate and entertain us, we put the focus back on the craft of writing Swift code.

News: Volunteers and Students programmes
Want to attend Swift Craft for very low cost - or even free?
We have two programmes that might be just what you're looking for!
Students
If you are a student in full time education you are eligible for student pricing.
Please see our dedicated Students page for more information and to apply.
Volunteers
We need a small number of volunteers to help us at the venue during the week of the conference. You'll have a few tasks to do, many of which involving sitting in sessions. We aim to give you a reasonable amount of free time to enjoy the conference, too. For this you'll get free entry and up to three night's accommodation covered.
For all the details we have a dedicated Volunteers page, too.
Qualify for both?
We only have a limited number of volunteer spaces, so if you qualify as a student but also want to apply to be a volunteer, feel free to apply to both programmes. If you don't get selected as a volunteer you can still get the student ticket.
However you get to Swift Craft we look forward to seeing you there.

Location
Swift Craft is hosted at the Leas Cliff Hall in Folkestone in Kent, UK, overlooking the English Channel. This historic seaside town is also home to the channel tunnel and, as such, has excellent links to the rest of europe. It's also very accessible from London with the UK's (currently) only high speed link, the HS1.
The Leas Cliff Hall is a working theater that also has a dedicated conference suite. Built into the cliffs, and with floor-to-ceiling glass overlooking the sea on three sides, the views are spectacular!
The venue is about a 15 minute walk from Folkestone Central station, or ten minutes walk to the bustling town centre. As well as the modern town the old quarter, home to art galleries, curio shops and bohemian cafes and restaurants, extends down to the picturesque harbour. It's no wonder The Times voted it one of the best places to live in 2023.
Although the venue is split across three floors, connected via staircases, it is also fully accessible via elevator.
