What to expect at React Conf 2024?

Eli says the conference is returning in person after the pre-COVID edition because the React team has work to share and wants to bring the community together. He describes the community as central to React and frames the event as a chance to build toward React’s next 10 years.

Matt says the speaker lineup is still developing, with an open call for proposals closing February 28. He names React team members Joe, Saad, Lauren, and Mofi, plus Nola and Ricardo from React Native. Eli says this is the first React Conf with sponsors and that the event is intended to represent the wider community, not just Meta.

Matt says organizers are targeting a single-track program with about 20 speakers, leaving time for attendees to mingle and network. They want people across backgrounds, libraries, frameworks, and experience levels to feel welcome. A ticket lottery and diversity scholarships are intended to support broad representation.

Organizers expect around 650 people in person in Henderson, Nevada. They also plan a free livestream and recordings of the talks for people who cannot attend. Matt reminds prospective attendees to enter the ticket lottery before February 28.
