Conferences

CSS is the often unsung hero of Web development. For nearly quarter of a century it's added color, typography, layout, and more to the web. In that time it's gone from a straightforward language, to a complex set of capabilities, quite a few of which are little understood.

Many web development conferences cover CSS as part of a mix. But few are really dedicated to the langage alone. Curated by Hiu Jing Chen and John Allsopp, and produced by Web Directions, Hover is exclusively focused on CSS–the conference CSS deserves.

Online Together: Spring Summit is a three-day web design conference with an intense focus on digital design, UX, content, code, and more—featuring 15+ in-depth sessions, Q&A with the speakers, and more. You'll get deep insights into where we are now and where things are going next.

Front end performance used to be a relatively simple task–minifying, concatenating and gzipping, a bit of smushing images, and all done.

But in 2021 it's far more than that, and only getting more complex. That's where lazy load comes in. A conference dedicated to front end performance, we'll cover what you need to know now, and what's coming next.

Lazy Load is programmed and MC'd by Henri Helvetica

Waffles and wings. Collards and code. A music festival. RenderATL is the four-day software engineering conference & music festival featuring your next career opportunity with 50+ expert speakers in tech covering upcoming and current best software engineering practices, web3, engineering leadership, accessibility practices, and more.

Most widely-used programming languages have conferences specifically dedicated to the language. CPPCon for C++, PyCon for Python, GopherCon for Go, Dart Summit, and many others.

There are many conferences that feature aspects of JavaScript: some are commercial, some community, but there are none whose primary focus is the language itself.

GlobalScope focusses specifically on JavaScript the language.

The JavaScript and Friends Conference (JS&Friends) is a not-for-profit conference, organized by a team of volunteers. We are all active or aspiring software professionals, and we are excited to bring together a diverse group of JavaScript enthusiasts and friends to learn and network. With this conference, we want to contribute to the cultivation of a welcoming, inclusive, and dynamic tech scene throughout the midwestern United States, and beyond!

Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) first saw the light of day at Code 2015, when Alex Russell, their originator, first outlined the then weeks old concept.

Since 2015, the Web platform has increased in sophistication, with new capabilities and APIs. Web Apps are increasingly closer to being first class citizens on platforms like Android and even iOS.

Code focusses on developing these apps, and the Web platform as a whole. We'll cover browser APIs, as well as patterns and best practices for developing sophisticated web applications.

Accessibility has been central to the Web since its inception (it's called the World Wide Web to reflect the intention of its creators that the Web be accessible to all regardless of among other things disability).

There are many great accessibility focussed conferences around the world, so why another one? Most of those conferences are designed for accessibility experts, and often address a broad range of topics associated wth accessibility.

We've created Access All Areas (AAA) for web and front end developers, for many of whom accessibility engineering is a relatively small part of their day-to-day. Our aim is to keep front end professionals up to date with developments in accessibility technologies and practices, to help them deliver a web for all.

We're excited to announce our annual Summit returns December 1 and 2 2022 in Sydney, and it will be bigger than ever!

Covering our traditional front-end engineering, design and product management, this year we'll also feature a content design and strategy track, a React ecosystem track and a junior developer focussed track–as always featuring world leading speakers.

Until recently security, privacy and identity have been considered the responsibility of security experts, back end developers and operations. But as Browser privacy, security and identity APIs bring increasing capability to the front end, along with the power, front end developers are gaining ever more responsibility.

We've created Safe for web and front end developers, for many of whom these issues are a relatively small part of their day-to-day. Our aim is to keep front end professionals up to date with developments in privacy, security and identity technologies and practices, to help them deliver safer, more secure (and better) web experiences.
