In the new virtual format, we invite you to join us for 2 days of talks, product updates, and live Q&A sessions. Discover how the world’s leading development teams use Feature Management for improved visibility, testing in production, and safer, progressive releases. When teams overcome the fear of breaking things, they collaborate more effectively, validate ideas faster, and have better control over what they put into the world.
Trajectory is a two-day conference for teams who want to move faster and deliver more, continuously. We've noticed when teams aren't inhibited by the fear of breaking things, they can collaborate more effectively, get feedback and validate ideas sooner, and have a stronger handle on what they're putting into the world. So we are working to bring together teams who are leading the charge for better development and release practices so they can share their learnings and best practices.
In the weeks leading up to the main event, we’ll host a 4-week series that focuses on how specific teams are using Feature Management to build, operate, learn, and empower. Starting July 29th, we’ll be hosting live 1-hour sessions every Wednesday, highlighting speakers from our community.
There will be an effort made to accommodate participants at all skill levels, from beginner to expert. We will also provide content for three distinct personas: Software Developer, Rollout Manager, and LaunchDarkly Admin. While all content will be made accessible to all attendees, some content may be more relevant to some participants than others. You'll also have access to LaunchDarkly's team to learn and discuss best practices and ask questions in a collaborative, inclusive environment.
Yes, this is yet another developer conference...or is it? We've seen how quickly the landscape has changed over the past few years. Teams that are continuously delivering are finding best practices and tools that help them move quickly without breaking things. We wanted to create a space where teams can share these learnings and have meaningful conversations.

What is Space Camp? And who is this for?
Space Camp is a half-day of focused training sessions for LaunchDarkly users. This event will take place on April 8th, the day before Trajectory, and will be hosted at the same location in Jack London Square. Participants will get hands-on experience learning more about best practices and strategies for incorporating feature flags into development processes. We'll also cover topics like managing feature flags across teams through the use of custom roles and permissions, and how to use the relay proxy.
