The JavaScript zone is overflowed with hundreds of conferences that take place all over the world. These conferences cover many topics. There are fields like Angular and React, that are very stable in the conferences world with a lot of conferences backed by large sponsors. In addition, there are fields like Vue.js, that are very new and groundbreaking.
In the last years, the buzz around the conferences is amazing. They are getting bigger and more common. There are more sponsors and organizers. Usually, the organizers build an attractive website to the conferences. In addition, more developers want to participate as one of the speakers. Wealthy tours are built around the conferences days in the hostess country. Related Workshops and Hackathons occurs and all of us gain from that.
In this article, we will cover my favorite stack of conferences from varied topics. We will learn new things like what is “Diversity Support Ticket”, which conference comes back after a one year vacation and which “historical event” will take place in the near future. In the end of the article, there is an amazing bonus 😍
