Some developers think of **software as a craft**.

They lose sleep over an abstraction that isn't quite right. They refactor things that already work, just to make them better. They **obsess over the smallest details**: every animation, every pixel, every line of code.

Engineers like this exist all over the world. But they rarely get to be in the same room.

Announcing [**Resend Forward**](/forward), our first-ever conference. By builders, for builders.

[Join us](/forward) in San Francisco on October 21st.


## What to expect

We'll gather for a full day focused on the craft behind building software.

We'll hear from leaders working at the edge of software and AI. There will be a special emphasis on practical tools and ideas that you can actually use. Between sessions, we'll share good food, real conversations, and swag worth keeping.

The goal is to spend a day with people who care about quality the way you do, share what's working, and leave more excited to build than you've been in a long time.

We can't wait to share more details with you in the coming months. For now, [**join the waitlist**](/forward) to be notified when tickets go on sale.
