What to expect at Flutterconf Latam 2024
We love seeing Flutter events happening around the world, and we do our best to attend and support the community whenever possible. Recently, we joined Fluttercon USA in NYC, where we connected with passionate american developers and industry leaders. Last year, we also had the incredible opportunity to attend the first-ever large-scale Flutter event in Latin America, held in Medellín, Colombia. This two-day event took place in October 2023, bringing together developers, designers, and enthusiasts from across the region and beyond. It was a fantastic experience filled with insightful talks, talented individuals, and the vibrant spirit that makes the Flutter community special.
This month, the VGV team heads to Arequipa, Peru, for Flutterconf Latam 2024—a two-day event packed with workshops, lightning talks, and expert panels. The conference, hosted at the Cerro Juli Convention Center, will dive into the latest in Flutter development and trends within the growing community. But beyond the tech, it’s a perfect chance to explore Arequipa, one of Peru’s most beautiful cities, known for its culture, architecture, and delicious food.
The event promises not only valuable learning experiences but also lively networking opportunities featuring contributions from global companies and local Flutter talent.
Unicorns at Flutterconf Latam

Matías Leyba, Engineer at Very Good Ventures, will dive into how Flutter apps can seamlessly connect with native platforms through plugins in his talk “Plugins: Tu puente hacia el código nativo”. Attendees get to explore into the inner workings of plugins and discover essential tools for developing their own.
The talk will begin with foundational concepts and an overview of the correct architecture for a plugin. As a hands-on component, Matías will walk participants through creating a plugin for both Android and iOS, following best development practices. By the end of the talk, listeners will gain a solid understanding of how Flutter communicates with native platforms, unlocking new ways to extend app functionality. Don’t miss this opportunity to enhance your Flutter skills and deepen your knowledge of the Flutter ecosystem!
Sofía Rey, Engineer at Very Good Ventures, will take the stage to introduce her talk “Animaciones a otro nivel: Transforma tu app con Rive”. Sofía will share how to elevate your Flutter apps with stunning, interactive animations using Rive. In this talk attendees will learn how Rive’s state-based animation capabilities can not only beautify UI but also enhance user experience in a dynamic and functional way. There is a way to simplify complex concepts and make applications more intuitive—without the need for overly complicated workflows. Rive also promotes seamless collaboration between designers and developers, offering powerful tools for both. In this talk, Sofía will dive into what Rive is, how it integrates with Flutter, and walk through a practical example to get you started with this amazing tool in your projects.
Mauricio Miguez, Engineer at Very Good Ventures, will explore the significance of striving for 100% test coverage in Flutter projects and provide practical strategies for achieving and maintaining this goal in his talk ”Manteniendo el 100% de test coverage: Mitos, Estrategias y Mejores Prácticas”. Mauricio will discuss how to integrate thorough testing into CI/CD pipelines to ensure consistent and comprehensive coverage over time.
This talk will also address common concerns and misconceptions about aiming for full coverage. By debunking myths, it shows how every additional test contributes not only to code quality but also to early bug detection and better software architecture. Get ready to dive into best practices for making tests automated, independent, readable, and fast, with a focus on building effective and valuable unit tests. Also, in this talk the attendees will explore how adopting a disciplined approach to testing can transform development team’s culture, fostering a mindset of quality and shared responsibility.
Join this session to discover how achieving and maintaining 100% code coverage is not only possible but also one of the most impactful practices for your Flutter projects.
Marcos Sevilla, Senior Engineer at Very Good Ventures, will explore the creation of an API for generating Apple Passes using Dart Frog in his session “Full Stack Dart with Apple PassKit, Dart Frog, and Flutter".
The API will connect with a Flutter app, which consumes the generated passes, offering a full-stack approach with Dart as the only language. The talk demonstrates how to streamline the pass-generation flow by sharing code between backend and frontend, showcasing Dart’s versatility across both layers.
Additionally, Marcos will touch on native iOS integration with Apple PassKit, providing insight into how Flutter interacts seamlessly with platform-specific features. Join this session to discover the power of a unified Dart codebase for creating robust cross-platform solutions.
