Irakli and Chris (independent researchers) will show us reactive UIs via declarative Datalog rules and sync through commodity blob stores like S3.

Irakli and Chris' research perspective should make a nice constrast to the commercial focus for the rest of the conf.
October 7, 2025 at 3:16 PM
@anselm.io (@jazz.tools)will help us grapple with the question of when our sync systems become a full-fledged database.

Anselm's talks at Local-First Conf have always been crowd-pleasers, so he's sure to delight at Sync Conf.
October 7, 2025 at 3:16 PM
Conrad (@powersync.com) covers one of our favorite topics: SQLite, and the latest on using it in your client-side web app.

PowerSync has written many excellent blog posts going deep on SQLite for the web, expect to see that expertise on display in this talk.
October 7, 2025 at 3:16 PM
Brendan (number0 / Iroh) will show us the possibility of internet-optional sync using device-to-device connections.

True peer-to-peer networking has remained elusive but they claim to have cracked it with their now widely-deployed Rust library.
October 7, 2025 at 3:16 PM
Convex @convex.dev is quickly becoming the go-to sync engine for startups building AI and agentic apps. At Sync Conf 2025, co-founder James Cowling @jamescowling.dev will share how they’re making it happen.
October 3, 2025 at 2:30 PM
Adam Wiggins @adamwiggins.bsky.social helped shape how we build software with the 12-Factor App and the Local-First Manifesto. At Sync Conf 2025, he’ll look ahead to the next wave: agentic, malleable, real-time software.
October 2, 2025 at 3:41 PM
James Arthur @thruflo.com is building @electric-sql.com, the sync engine behind @tanstack.com and @elixir-lang.org. At Sync Conf 2025, he’ll kick things off with an intro on why sync matters for AI apps and agentic systems, including a demo of sync-based software in action.
October 1, 2025 at 2:30 PM
Host of Latent Space and AI engineering master @swyx.io is joining us at Sync Conf 2025. Tastemaker, product builder, and voice behind AI Engineering Summit.
September 30, 2025 at 2:30 PM
Sunil Pai from Cloudflare will present at Sync Conf 2025.
Sunil is the creator of Partykit, and now working on edge computing with D1 + Durable Objects. He'll speak about how sync engines are a perfect fit for building agentic AI apps.
September 23, 2025 at 2:30 PM
Carl Sverre @f0a.org of SQLSync is speaking at Sync Conf 2025 on partial replication.
He takes a slightly contrarian view: no CRDTs, but instead block-level replication. Hear all about it on Nov 12.3
September 22, 2025 at 2:30 PM
Welcome Frank McSherry @frankmcsherry.bsky.social to Sync Conf 2025. Pioneer of sync technology, inventor of Differential Dataflow, and founder of @materialize.com, Frank will trace the evolution of sync and stream processing.
