## About the talk

The founders of [Rive.app](https://rive.app/) are twins on a mission to bring back the joy and interactivity we lost with the death of Flash. In this session, you'll learn what Rive is, how it's used, and which platforms it integrates with -- and see an illustration come to life with a live demo.
