In October 2011, Johannes founded Sthlm.js - a meetup group in Stockholm for anyone interested in Javascript. Since then, the group has grown from one member to over 1 300, making it one of the largest meetup groups in the Nordics.
Sthlm.js has hosted talks by thought leaders like Robert Nyman, Paul Lewis and many more, tickets usually sell out within one minute after having been released.
Since there hasn’t been a conference in the Nordics on the subject before, we thought it was due time. We want to bring everyone together and spend two full days on what we love the most - code.
