Duocon 2020 is a wrap, folks! Last weekend we hosted our second-annual free learner conference with talks from leaders in language and technology, announcements of new Duolingo features, and a Q&A with founder Luis von Ahn. Did you miss us? Don’t fret, we’ve captured this all-virtual conference so you can watch, re-watch, or share from the comfort of your couch.

Watch the talks!

Ever wonder what we’re working on at Duolingo? What language we’re adding next? How we measure how much you’re learning? This conference may be behind us but we’ve captured it all on video for viewers to watch at their leisure. Accessibility is important; hosting a conference with an international audience means not everyone can watch live.

Below you’ll find links to all the presentations and from our internal and external experts. Enjoy!
