Over the last few weeks, a lot of you have reached out to us to ask us about StarCon next year. Unfortunately, we will not be running a conference in 2020.

When we run a conference, we want to get it right. This means finding the best speakers (+paying them), a comfortable venue & making sure the event is accessible. We were unable to dedicate the time needed for this in 2020. We hope to run StarCon again in the future—stay tuned!💫

@StarConKW is one of the best conferences I've attended. I'll be using them as a bench Mark for all future conferences I attend! – at Kitchener, Ontario

From a designer: This weekend at @StarConKW I got to see the passion, creativity and pure joy that so many devs have with their work. You're all so endlessly curious - I couldn't respect you all more. HOW DO YOU DO IT?!

As a developer, I am constantly impressed with the work of designers on a daily basis. HOW DO YOU DO IT.

Had an amazing time at @StarConKW and am leaving inspired, with a great sense of excitement for all these new ideas I didn't even know about before I arrived! #StarCon

Things I didn't expect to see when I got out of bed up this morning: Hungarian words in a deep-dive on AWK in a Canadian university on a breezy Sunday at a high-energy wacky little computery conference in the middle of a very conventional Ontario snow blizzard 🙈😻 #starcon – at Waterloo, Ontario

THIS IS AMAZING and so relateable the frustration of trying to get something working and encountering a bajillion errors is SO REAL and frustrating and not talked about enough and Falah actually pushed through to try to get it working!! I'm so impressed #starcon

I thought I was confident until Falah started literally counting her mistakes as she talked about how she made a virtual escape room and kept the audience LAUGHING

Do you trust your programming tools? Maybe you shouldn't… In “Ghost in the Compiler” @ManishEarth introduces bootstrapping compilers & showcases the “Trusting Trust” attack by backdooring the @rustlang compiler! 🚪💣 📖 In a blogpost form: manishearth.github.io/blog/2… #starcon – at Waterloo, Ontario

trains are cool but I’m terrible at drawing them! 🚋 learned about how trains don’t run into each other by using signalling systems #starcon

compilers are compiled by compilers which are compiled by compilers which are..... ??? how can you trust your tools? what if there’s a backdoor? @ManishEarth ran through some code to demo what that might look like! #starcon

DAG = Directed Acyclic Graph. lots of ways to figure out if a graph is a DAG! tbh I didn’t know someone could get so excited over graphs... props to @vbhvsgr for the enthusiasm #starcon
