Introducing the AMP Roadshow: Bringing the AMP team to you

TL;DR: The AMP team is traveling around the world to bring the AMP Roadshow, a free one-day developer conference, to you. Register for a city near you.

We’ve been hard at work these last few months at improving AMP’s web components and making AMP work for even more use-cases like e-commerce, and we’ve launched numerous components and features that make it possible to build quite interactive experiences with AMP. In fact, we think the time has come to give AMP a try as a general library to build content and landing pages for the web.

To share the latest and greatest and connect with web developers worldwide, we, the AMP team, are going on the road. The AMP Roadshow, as we call it, is a free, one-day developer conference with a packed agenda to get you up to speed and ready to start building with AMP if you haven’t already.

Where is the AMP Roadshow headed?

We’ve just come back from our first roadshow in Toronto, and we’re making stops in 9 more cities until the end of the year! Registration links are already up for:

• Singapore (Oct 6)
• Jakarta (Oct 9)
• Sydney (Oct 13)
• Munich (Nov 7)
• Madrid (Nov 14)
• London (Nov 16)
• Beijing (Dec 5)
• Shanghai (Dec 8)

In addition to these, we’re visiting Paris in November, and Taipei in December. The registration links for these are coming shortly – the best way to be notified is by following us on Twitter.

Why should I attend?

Come because you care about creating a great user experience, and are curious about how AMP can help.

At the roadshow, we’ll focus deeply on using AMP to build beautiful, interactive and responsive sites. Yes, sites, not pages! We’ll tackle forms, sidebars, complex animations, monetization, and all the other bits required to build a full web experience.

We also want to use this opportunity to learn from you, and hear what your challenges are. We’re very excited to collaborate with every one of you, and maybe convince some of you to become contributors to the AMP open source project in the future.

I really hope you can join us. It’ll be fun! And if your city is not on the list, worry not – we’re planning on adding more cities in the near future.

Hopefully see you soon!

See AMP live at I/O 2017!

We’re just days away from the start of Google I/O 2017, Google’s annual developer conference. And with lots of AMP contributors working at Google, we’ll naturally use the opportunity to connect to developers worldwide.

This year there’ll be 4 big talks about the latest and greatest in the world of AMP, a bigger developer sandbox booth for those who join us in person, and plenty of office hours.

Best of all, all of this year’s AMP sessions are being live streamed. Here’s the agenda:

1. The AMP Keynote, Wed. May 17, 6PM – 7PM PDT
2. AMP Ads: Better Advertising on a Faster Web, Thu. May 18, 8:30AM – 9:30AM PDT
3. From AMP to PWA: Progressive Web AMPs, Thu. May 18, 9:30AM – 10:30AM PDT
4. Building beautiful, interactive AMP pages for e-commerce & beyond, Fri. May 19, 3:30PM – 4:30PM PDT

Finally, if you’re tuning it from a different timezone or need to feed your baby sloth during one of our talks, rest assured that we’ll upload all session videos to our YouTube Channel (subscribe to be notified!). We’re all looking forward to connecting with you all at I/O 2017 or across the web!
