We are extremely excited to welcome you back to IRL events!

While we await corporate venue sponsors for larger meetups, we are excited to get together for a new type of event: Technical Dinners.

Inspired by the speaker dinners we've organized for conferences, Technical Dinners offer a more intimate, relaxed, and social setting in the private dining room of an upscale restaurant in San Francisco. The evening's schedule is as follows:

• 6:00pm: Cocktails, mocktails, networking
• 6:55: Welcome Toast
• 7:00: Plated Dinner
• 8:00: Technical Talks

- Only 25 tickets available -

Talk 1

🎙️ Swizec Teller: What’s so exciting about React 18?
The suspense is over! React 18 comes with concurrent mode.
You’ve been waiting for years, read all the tweets, watched all the demos, laughed at the memes – is cool idea but it’s never gonna happen. It’s too good to be true.
But they finally did it! React 18 ships with concurrent mode 😍
In this talk, we’ll look at how you can start using React 18 in existing projects and push concurrent mode to the limit. Huge state updates without custom performance hacks? You got it. Native support for loading UI? Oh yes. Faster apps with less work? Dreamy.
