Roundtable: KMP & CMP – Yes we can!…but….
KMP with native UI and KMP with CMP are both amazing technically. However, there is no guidance for how these technologies should be applied to production situations. All new tech goes through a maturing phase.
Join this roundtable to discuss the promise and pitfalls of KMP and CMP and how the community can deliver on the amazing potential.

The Future of Android, Kotlin, and Everything
Modern mobile and Android are a touch over 15 years old and Droidcon London 2024 is also in its 15th year.
So, it’s time to look forward.
Tech trends come and go. Some burn hot, then disappear. Some become essential. The web is essential. Mobile is essential. Whatever happens with mobile technology, the idea that mobile won’t be as, or more essential, 15 years from now is nonsense.
How mobile is developed and delivered is a different question altogether. This will be a talk about near-term tech possibilities, but not what mobile might look like in 15 years. I could speculate, and I'd be wrong. It will be a talk about how this community can shape that future, starting now.
While the tech hype machine has hopped from one shiny concept to another, neither the web nor mobile has remained static. Far from it. We’re in a moment of change and opportunity. A very special moment for this community specifically. But the community is necessary to take advantage of it.
