Morning introduction from our emcee, Kenneth LaFrance.

This talk will propose a new model for how we think about "complexity" as we build. If you've ever struggled to convince someone to adopt React, RN, Next.js, etc., this talk is for you.

The past, present, and future of how Expensify sees React Native.

In this talk, we explore how to leverage tech, UX, and psychology to enhance your app and give it the best possible chance of reaching the top of the app stores!

Let’s face it, we all have a little bit of outrage inside us. But did you know you can channel that energy into creating amazing React Native apps? Join this talk to learn the basics of “Outrage Driven Development” (ODD) and discover how to become an ODD developer. Don’t suppress your outrage any longer - let’s turn it into a productive force and become ODD masters together! Get ready to revolutionize your app development game with the power of ODD.

This talk is a crash course covering the process of building and shipping apps and a review of common tools in the React Native ecosystem so you can feel confident deploying and getting back to developing.

Lunch is provided on-site. Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options will be available.

Dynamic and Scalable User Experiences

Learn about the team's process at NTWRK building a React Native app and discover how React Native can be reliably used to build complicated applications that heavily lean into media and real-time mechanics.

VoiceOver is a screen reader built into every Mac and iOS device, allowing users with visual impairments to navigate and interact with their devices using only sound. In this talk, we will explore how to utilize VoiceOver on an iPhone to improve the accessibility of a React Native mobile application. By implementing VoiceOver in a React Native app, developers can ensure that their app is accessible to a wider range of users. We will cover best practices for testing and debugging with VoiceOver, as well as strategies for ensuring a seamless and intuitive user experience for all users.

A behind-the-scenes look at the design and development of the all-new React docs at react.dev and how it changes how people learn to code.

Join me in this 10-minute talk as I share my experience of navigating the challenges of rewriting an app's codebase in just three weeks using React Native. By some this could be seen as Mission Impossible, but this is a tale of a success; a rescue mission to create a thriving codebase! I'll delve into the steps we took to identify the need to re-write, the obstacles we were facing without, as well as the process we took to feel empowered in our code base.

A walkthrough of Codegen, a pillar of the New Architecture, and how you can contribute to the React Native repository.
