Present and future of Localization in Orchard
Benedek Farkas (Lombiq)
Benedek gave a sneak peek on the existing features available in Orchard CMS to handle Localization and Translations.

Building JavaScript-based apps and components for Orchard websites
Daniel Stolt (IDeliverable)
In this session, Daniel demonstrated techniques, tips and tricks for building client-side apps and components for use in Orchard websites.
He also described some ways to make your client-side apps available as content in Orchard for editors and site admins to use, how to make content and configuration from Orchard available in your apps client-side, and how to make Orchard's server-side routing and client-side routing play nice together.

What's up with .NET Core 2.0 and C# 7?
Bertrand Le Roy (Microsoft)
Bertrand made a quick refresher course on .NET Core 1 and C# 6 and then showed the latest features and talked about what may come after with .NET Standard 2.0 and C# 7.
Orchard Core CMS
Sébastien Ros (Microsoft)
Sébastien described the goals and the major changes of Orchard Core and made a demo about the main features already available in Ochard Core CMS as Setup, Content publishing, Lists, Fields, Live Preview, Layers, Menus, Flow, Widgets, Recipes, ....
The most important feature of Orchard Core is Performance.
Making a quick stress test, Orchard Core is able to return 2,000 requests per second, without caching enabled.
The memory usage and the number of tenants you can load will also be improved (500 tenants => 2Gb).
