eBay Connect 2019
eBay Connect, the annual developer conference, took place in June at eBay's main office in San Jose, CA. Attendees got an inside look at eBay’s newest APIs and top initiatives. Although the conference was not open to all developers, we'd like to share some of the insights and resources with the entire developer community.
Programming over the two days included presentations on eBay’s newest APIs and initiatives from several of eBay's most influential leaders. The event concluded with the announcement of eBay’s Star Developer Awards, including the newest Nova Award. For a recap of the 2019 conference, see 5 Takeaways from eBay Connect’s Developer Conference in the eBay Newsroom.
Here's information from the conference we'd like to share with you:
