Agenda for the evening:

1️⃣ Alexander Askerov, Mobile Tech Lead at Wrike: Kotlin Multiplatform & Compose Multiplatform in Wrike Mobile App

Learn how we integrated Kotlin Multiplatform and Compose Multiplatform into the Wrike app, convinced the iOS team to join us, and navigated the challenges and successes along the way. Alexander will share his experience during this transformative journey, offering valuable insights for those looking to apply KMP in their own apps.

2️⃣ Olesia Tishchenko, Backend Developer at Wrike: Mobile BFF in Kotlin: how to engage client developers in backend contributions

Olesia will share an exciting story of how we had to completely rethink our approach to backend development for a mobile app. In companies like Wrike, mobile development often serves as an extension of the main product, with much of the work dedicated to adapting features that have proven successful in the web version. Discover how the team minimized backend development efforts by experimenting with different approaches to create a Kotlin-based backend-for-frontend (BFF) service and learn about the practical insights gained throughout this process.

3️⃣ Katerina Petrova, Product Marketing Manager at JetBrains: Kotlin Multiplatform Unleashed: Kotlin Code Sharing Beyond Mobile (30’)

Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) has rapidly gained popularity in the mobile community as a code-sharing technology, presenting a modern and flexible alternative to Flutter and React Native. However, the capabilities of KMP extend far beyond iOS and Android platforms. In this talk, Katerina will explore what you can achieve today with KMP on desktops, browsers, servers, and in the cloud. She will share insights both from the experiences of KMP users with real-world production projects and from the Kotlin team itself. As an avid Kotlin enthusiast, she uses KMP across various products, and some of the use cases might really surprise you!
