Swift Craft is returning to Folkestone in 2026! We're excited to announce the dates for our third event:

That's Monday to Wednesday, following the same format as this year.

We'll be back at Leas Cliff Hall with its stunning views over the English Channel. The format remains the same:

• Monday 18th May - Workshop day with in-depth tutorials
• Tuesday 19th May - Main conference day, plus Gala Dinner
• Wednesday 20th May - Main conference day

As always, we'll be a single-track event so you won't miss a thing.

Welcome to our Silver sponsor, Screenshotbot!

Screenshotbot is built by a small, but dedicated team, who are focused on doing one thing really well! If you have not tried snapshot testing yet then you should definitely look into it!

Their engineer, Arnold, will be joining us at the event, so do look for him on the exhibition floor. He'll also be giving a sponsored talk on Wednesday, so do catch him at the start of the afternoon (end of the lunch break) for that.

You can also visit their site to find out more.

We'd like to thank Screenshotbot for their support and for helping to improve the quality of our apps.

Here's a few words from them, directly:

About Screenshotbot

Screenshotbot is the developer platform for storing and reviewing your snapshot tests, used by startups and well known tech companies across the world. Screenshotbot stores your snapshots, so you don't have to manage Git LFS, and encourages snapshot testing by reducing the friction around manually recording and reviewing snapshots. Screenshotbot provides seamless integrations for all your mobile platforms, including iOS, Android, Flutter and React Native

Schedule for 2025

We've been a bit quiet since we launched the Call for Speakers last year. That doesn't mean we've been doing nothing! We've been super busy combing through an incredible list of submissions. Thanks to all our reviewers for your help in getting the initial rankings. We had nearly 10x as many submissions as we have places on the schedule, so even then the final selections were a painstaking - and heartbreaking - job!

Well, the selections have now been made and the schedule has been built.

But let's introduce our keynote speakers:

Keynotes

We're thrilled to announce that Caitlin Steele, who spoke last year, is returning - now as a keynote speaker. Caitlin is uniquely positioned to set the tone of the event, having worked in roles from front-end development, product management and product design - with many in-between.

We have also one of the giants of the Swift team at Apple! Non other than Doug Gregor! Doug works directly on Swift as a language and is on the language steering group, as well as working on the compiler. So we are privileged and humbled that he has agreed to join us for our event - especially at such a busy time on Apple's internal calendar.

And finally, we have Paul Hudson, who is known to ... literally everyone, as the man behind Hacking With Swift. So we're super excited to have him join us this year, too.
