Note that we’re also planning to host a beginner-friendly workshop for GraphQL newcomers on Thursday night before the conference, teaching how to build a GraphQL server using Node.JS, Prisma and GraphQL bindings.

An incredible number of amazing talk submissions
Shorter talks for more great content
The review committee was overwhelmed by the number and quality of talk submissions for GraphQL Europe and spent long hours carefully reviewing all proposals.
Because of the high number of submissions and the difficulty to reject many of them, the review committee further made an important decision of shortening the lengths of regular talks from 30 to 20 minutes in order to fit more great content into the schedule.
Prepare yourself for awesome talks
Here is a selection of some of the talks to be presented at the conference. Find the full conference schedule here.
Title: Transpiling GraphQL instead of writing customized server code
Speaker: Mike Solomon (Software Engineer @ Twitter)
GraphQL specifies what data and response shape we need and not how to get and reshape that data. At Twitter, we automatically translate GraphQL queries into code that efficiently specifies the how as well! See how we keep our API uniform and extend it without writing or deploying new code.
Title: Fundamental Properties of the GraphQL Language
Speaker: Olaf Hartig (Assistant Professor for CS @ Linköping University)
This talk presents a formal study of the GraphQL language. After a gentle introduction to the typical problems considered in such studies, I highlight our findings regarding these problems for the case of GraphQL. As a bonus, I present a solution to avoid producing overly large query results.
Title: 2 Fast 2 Furious: migrating Medium’s codebase without slowing down
Speaker: Sasha Solomon (Tech Lead @ Medium)
After 5 years, we’re building the next generation infrastructure at Medium with GraphQL and we’re doing it without slowing product development and we’re incrementally gaining benefits from the new system. See how we take advantage of GraphQL to enable widespread yet gradual architectural change!
Title: Teaching GraphQL
Speaker: Daniel Woelfel (Software Engineer @ Facebook)
GraphQL is designed to be easy to use, but newcomers to GraphQL are often tripped up by common problems and misconceptions. I’ll cover how to teach GraphQL in a way that gets newbies excited ands helps them overcome the mental hurdles that prevent them from being productive with GraphQL.
