The year’s not over yet — there’s plenty of JavaScript events ahead for those looking to learn, connect, and grow with the community. The year so far has brought us an exciting lineup of events — including JSWorld, React Miami, iJS London, and React Summit Amsterdam (with the New York edition still to come!).
A Recap of 2024
The conference scene in 2024 showed no signs of slowing down, reaffirming how vital in-person and hybrid gatherings remain for the React and JavaScript communities. With meetups across the globe — including New York, Berlin, and Tokyo — developers from around the world came together to exchange ideas.
A major focus in 2024 was on performance optimization, the continued evolution of React and React Native, and the rise of new frameworks and tooling. Talks and workshops explored everything from React Server Components and progressive enhancement strategies to the growing influence of AI in workflows.
Looking to Close Out 2025 Strong
As we start to wrap up 2025, the conference space has continued to evolve — particularly with an explosion of interest in AI-related development.

- JSNation US - Simon Ouyang on Generative Engine Optimization
