If you weren't able to catch the Developer Passport kickoff stream, we've got you covered. Watch the video recap right here using the video player below!

What even is The Developer Passport?
You might be familiar with TechNow, our biannual release webinar where we crammed as many developer features as possible into 60 minutes. It was great, but honestly? You kept telling us you wanted more. More depth, more demos, more time with the people who actually build these features.
So we listened. Developer Passport is the evolution of that format. Instead of one lightning-round session, we're dedicating an entire week, March 16–20, to deep-diving into specific products with the developer advocates as hosts and product owners from each respective team joining live to demo, explain, and answer your questions in real time.
Here's What's on the Schedule
Monday, March 16 - Playbooks: Kristy Merriam kicks off the very first Developer Passport episode with a focus on Playbooks, the tool that lets you automate large, multi-step processes (think employee onboarding) with a clear visual of where things stand. PMs Jason Lefever and Taylor Burroughs will be demoing new Australia features, details TBD (Kristy's keeping the surprises locked until Monday).
Tuesday, March 17 - Flows: Lauren McManamon and Flow designer Brian Bimshleger are covering what's new in ServiceNow Flows: the automation engine underneath your workflows. One highlight to look forward to: Flow Context Summary, a new way to make sense of execution results and troubleshoot errors without the usual headache.
Wednesday, March 18 - ServiceNow Experiences (x2 episodes): Earl Duque is doubling up on Wednesday with two episodes covering UI Builder, workspaces, accessibility, theming, usage insights, and more. Brad Tilton and Maria Gabriella Ochoa Perez are joining him. If you've seen this crew together before, expect to learn, and laugh, a lot.
Thursday, March 19 - Release Ops: Laszlo Balla and Product Manager Robert Feduruk are tackling the part of the job nobody talks about enough: actually moving your work from one instance to another. Release Ops is the structured, repeatable alternative to update sets that's been available since Zurich. Two words to get you curious: runbook tasks.
Friday, March 20 - ServiceNow Studio and Build Agent: Travis Toulson wraps the week with Andrew Vlo and Matt Ripley to cover everyone's favorite topic right now: Build Agent and ServiceNow Studio. Australia is bringing expanded metadata type support, broader application compatibility, and something Travis described as "ServiceNow Studio has entered the chat." Tune in to find out whatever that means.
