Schedule
REST Fest is a fairly fluid conference. We work to keep this schedule up to date throughout the weekend. There are a couple other sources of info that gradualy move here including the Hack Day, Stack Day, and People Pages on the wiki. This year, we've also included the Hypothes.is annotation sidebar where you can comment, send in corrections, and help us find information related to each part of the event. Just highlight and annotate!

Thursday - Hypermedia Hack Day
| 8 AM |
|
The Innovate Building 148 River Street Greenville, SC 29609 |
| 8:30 - noon |
Hypermedia Hack-a-thon We'll have a server on-hand that provides a simple API and outputs responses in multiple hypermedia formats (HAL, Cj, Siren, UBER, etc.). Teams get together and create a generic hypermedia client that can handle at least one of the formats. Near the end of the day, new features/functionality will be added to the service -- well-implemented hypermedia clients will get the new features automatically w/o any code changes. |

GET /greenville This year, we're giving all the tired hack-day'ers the chance to wander Greenville, SC. We'll kick things off with a round of moonshine shots at Dark Corner Distilery (with love from Swagger!). Greenville's changed quite a bit since you were last here—even if you were here last year! |

Friday - Stack Day & Main Event
REST and Hypermedia APIs are made up of many moving parts, and often those get overlooked or undervalued. We wanted to give developers and API designers the chance to pitch and explain their approaches.

Keynote - Practical Semantics The Semantic Web has always been one of those Big Ideas that makes perfect sense in theory but is difficult to apply in practice. Fortunately, technologies such as HTML5 Microdata, JSON-LD, schema.org, and Activity Streams have helped put the sometimes lofty goals of "Linked Data" into the hands of every day developers. |
