For me conferences aren't just about learning new stuff. They're about new experiences, chatting with new folks and having a great time.

This year's JSConf in Iceland is my current number 1.

It really checked all the boxes for me:

  • Excellent organization
  • Excellent venue
  • Excellent content/speakers
  • Activities for kids
  • Activities for spouses on conference days
    • A good number of people made a family holiday out of the conference as a result.

  • Excellent dinners/parties

  • Incredible community events over the weekend following the conference
    • Glacier hiking
    • Waterfall watching
    • Hot-pooling
    • the list goes on...

  • and of course, all of my fellow attendees were wonderful folks. Many great chats were had.

My next target is JSConf in Hawaii. I'm confident it'll be incredible too.
