API World -- Workshop Stage B (PRO)

Format: A mix of presentations and hands-on exercises. Bring your laptop for the best experience!
Audience: Product managers, software developers, architects, testers, technical writers, and API program managers.
Skill Level: Beginner / Intermediate

Join this workshop to explore modern, governance-driven strategies for effective API delivery, using OpenAPI and Arazzo as canonical sources of truth. We’ll navigate the full API lifecycle—from clarifying business requirements through example mapping, enforcing standards via API linting, to adopting extensible design and testing practices that support safe, iterative evolution. Through a practical, hands-on walkthrough, attendees will learn how OpenAPI and Arazzo can drive consistent documentation, mocking, validation, and automation—streamlining development, strengthening governance, and elevating both provider and consumer experiences.
