Nordic.js is a single track conference with 8-10 talks per day by internationally renowned speakers as well as rising stars. Previous speakers include names like Douglas Crockford, Alice Bartlett, Tom Dale, Soledad Penadés, Bert Belder & Jake Archibald.
With a bunch of developers, designers and creatives descending to Stockholm for the event, and both structured and informal networking sessions provided, it’s a brilliant opportunity for you and your team to forge new professional contacts and make new friends.
Online videos of all sessions, with integrated slides and audio will be made available to all attendees after the event. This ensures no one will miss a thing and your whole office can benefit.
We will have two lightning talk sessions scheduled, all conference attendees are welcome to contribute. Each talk should be around 5 minutes long - you can apply for a slot when you get to the conference, why not share some learnings from a project you’ve been working on or maybe take a firm stance on tabs vs spaces? Start preparing!
Nordic.js is created by developers for developers. Our ambition is to inspire and to get inspired, to meet and learn from others and to bring our community closer together.
To give more people, especially those who couldn’t afford a ticket of their own, a chance to join the conference, we are now releasing our Diversity Tickets. The Diversity Ticket are actually two tickets, one that you buy for yourself and one that you give to someone from an underrepresented group in tech. This person is someone who could also benefit from the knowledge, experience and connections that Nordic.js offers, but for different reasons might not otherwise have been able to attend. The idea is inspired by JSConf.EU and our aim is to contribute to making tech and Nordic.js a more diverse place. Everyone who buys a Diversity Ticket will be publicly thanked and will be put up on the site as a Diversity Sponsor.
Anyone from an underrepresented group in tech is invited to apply. You can apply for a Diversity Ticket here.
