GoOoOod morning, developers! 🌅 Believe it or not, we have entered into the final week of January. While many have their eyes on the upcoming Super Bowl, or perhaps planning something for you and your sweetheart to enjoy on Valentine's Day, there's something BIGGER and even more exciting on the horizon (😉) - the Washington D.C. release of ServiceNow! If you are a new user of the ServiceNow platform, let’s do a quick rundown of what the dawning of a  release season means for you.

When these bi-annual releases of the ServiceNow platform occur, they trigger a series of coinciding events as well…

  1. ServiceNow determines an Early Access (EA) release date for the new version - for Washington D.C., Early Access (EA) will be February 1st, 2024. 
    • Unless your company registered for the EA Release Program in the months prior, this will not impact your corporate instances.
    • EA Release Day does apply to Personal Developer Instances (PDIs) though! For instructions on how to upgrade your PDI, click here.
    • For more information about the Early Access Release Program, click here
  2. Our team of Developer Advocates will schedule our TechNow webinar on the same day as the EA Release - the Washington D.C. TechNow live stream will be on February 1st at 8AM PT, click here to register.
  3. Following TechNow, there will be approximately 2 months of content put out by our Developer Advocate team. Where TechNow covers the new features and enhancements at a very surface level, the blogs, podcast episodes, and live streams we produce dive much deeper into specific topics.
  4. Near the end of our content calendar, ServiceNow will make the release available to all customers (General Availability Release).

The purpose of this blog entry is to serve as your guide to the upcoming weeks of content dedicated to the Washington D.C. release. Below, you will find the calendar organized sequentially as well as by-product. Following the date, you will see an acronym referring to the format of the content. Here is a quick breakdown of what each of those abbreviations refers to and a short link to navigate to previously posted content of that type…

  • Blog: Written news and technical content (this blog!)
  • BP: The ServiceNow Developer podcast. Topics include product discussions with ServiceNow product managers, customer and partner developer journeys, and career tips (devlink.sn/break-point)
  • CTB: Creator Toolbox - a YouTube livestream where we demo new features and often feature guests from the Product Team (devlink.sn/ctb)
  • LCHH: Live Coding Happy Hour - a casual YouTube livestream where we grab a drink, unwind, and attempt to develop something we have not practiced before. It allows us to naturally run into debugging issues developers would typically encounter in real-time (devlink.sn/lchh)

Thank you so much for being a participant in the ServiceNow community and we hope you find this blog helpful in navigating the Washington D.C. release!
