Join droidcon CEO Greg Fawson for some insights on the event and some exciting news about what's next for the mobile dev community.

In this keynote, you'll hear from well-known Android experts about their hot-takes, predictions, wishes and advice about how they expect the Android ecosystem to change and how to best prepare for that future. Join us as they answer the question: Where do you see Android Development in three years, and how do you think developers should prepare for that future? After all experts are done making their pitch for the future...its your turn to ask the questions in a rapid-fire Q&A format.

For over ten years, I lived and breathed Android. I knew the ecosystem inside out. Then, I decided to hit the reset button and become a full-stack developer. A scary moment, what was I thinking? This session is the story of that transition, one that is still ongoing. I'll take you through the highs of discovering new technologies and the lows of feeling like a beginner all over again. I'll share the eye-opening "aha!" moments, the skills that transfer, and the ones that don't, the frustrating "WTFs," and the practical lessons learned along the way. I'll also demonstrate how knowledge of Modern Android Development is a competitive advantage in the broader software landscape. It's not a journey away from Android, but a return with a renewed perspective.
