I have known Simon Wistow a long time, and always enjoy hanging out with him. He’s a web application and performance OG, one of the co-founders of Fastly. The company runs a solid conference called Xcelerate in London every year – which feels kind of like an indie conference. I always meet engineers building cool things, and the content is technical, rather than marketing led.

This is a video I recorded with Simon about the show this year. Xcelerate London 2026 is on June 10th this year – get your tickets [here](https://learn.fastly.com/xcelerateldn).

disclosure statement- Fastly sponsored the video.
