**Topic 2 **- There are so many things going on with APIs these days, sometimes it’s hard to know where to start. Do you have a framework that you use to help companies think about APIs? ** **

**Topic 3 **- Are there different perspectives that developers have if they are dealing with APIs for monolithic applications vs. microservices applications vs. external APIs? 

**Topic 4 **- What is some of thinking around dynamically changing environments (e.g. DevOps, Agile) and APIs (versioning, testing changes, etc.)?

**Topic 5 **- What are some of the more critical things that you’re always reinforcing and educating people about APIs?
