BubbleCon is just a few weeks away! Our first ever conference for the Bubble community will be held in-person in New York City and virtually on October 24–25. We’re really excited that Bubblers around the world will be able to attend, and we know you are, too.

We have big plans for the virtual experience, and we don’t want you to miss out. If you haven’t gotten your tickets yet, here are five reasons to attend virtually:

Remote control — literally

Join from wherever, whenever. Participate in breakout sessions from your home office — or your couch. Watch panels and other live events with your suite of desk beverages conveniently placed out of view of your webcam. Or, get creative and host a local Bubble meetup to get the best of both worlds. (For the record, we’d love to see pics of your virtual setup using #BubbleCon2023.)

Another plus to attending virtually is that you can drop in whenever you want. If you want to take part in events all day long, go for it. But if you need a bit more flexibility because you’re at work or in a different time zone, virtual sessions let you come and go as you need to. And don’t worry, if you can’t make a session you’re looking forward to, we’re recording the live sessions (but you still have to register to get the recording in your inbox). Once you’re registered, you can start creating a schedule so you can make the events you care about most.

It’s more than just another webinar

We don’t want you to feel like you’re stuck in a meeting all day. Instead, we’re building a super-immersive virtual experience with special features for people attending online.

For example, BubbleCon will be an opportunity to connect with other no-code developers from around the world, and we’ll be hosting virtual-only networking events and sessions to help you connect with other Bubblers (and maybe even a few surprise guests). Get insight into what other members of the Bubble community are building, talk about your current projects, and learn from other no-code experts. Who knows, you might just meet your next collaborator! (Stay tuned for tips on how to make the most out of virtual networking.)

Get front-row seats from home

Just because you’re tuning in from home doesn’t mean you can’t have a front-row seat in New York. Connect with other people watching virtually using the chat, and play a part in in-person events using the poll and Q&A features. We’ll be keeping track of the virtual questions live, and you’ll be able to upvote other community members’ submissions to show your interest. Plus, live captions will help you keep track of what speakers are saying (a bonus that’s totally unique to the virtual experience).

The full agenda is coming soon, but get excited for panels from Bubble business owners and no-code experts, Bubble co-CEO Emmanuel Straschnov’s keynote, and events like the Immerse Demo Day, which will feature presentations from our current cohort of Founders in Residence.

Save on ticket costs (and travel)

ICYMI: Virtual tickets to BubbleCon are free! We’re honored that hundreds of Bubblers are spending the time (and money) to come in person, but we know that not everybody can do that. You’re a part of this community, and we can’t wait to meet you. (And hey, if you decide to splurge on takeout from your favorite lunch spot during the conference, we’ll still consider that money you saved!)

No dress code required

Feel like attending the keynote in your pajamas? No problem. Want to get into the business mindset and come in a suit? That works too. Meet in the middle with a suit on top and PJs on the bottom? As long as you also have your bunny slippers. The beautiful thing about a virtual event is you get to choose.

In the coming weeks, we’ll share more details on programming, help you get the most out of the conference, and spotlight some of the event’s speakers. The best way to stay updated on all things BubbleCon is to register here, but you can also stay tuned in your inbox and on our social channels, and meet other attendees online using #BubbleCon2023. See you there!
