Angular Munich Meetup

We’re excited to launch our next Angular meetup to bring the local Angular community back together for an evening full of learning, sharing, and networking.
The meetup takes place on Tuesday, 19 May, kindly hosted once again by remberg.

Doors open at 18:30
First talk starts at 19:00

We have two talks lined up for the evening, followed by time for discussion, networking, and connecting with fellow Angular enthusiasts.

Talk 1
Speaker: Manfred Steyer
Topic: Agentic UI beyond Chats: Architecture Patterns and Open Standards
Agentic AI is moving beyond chat toward systems that plan, act, and use tools. In the UI, this often results in ad-hoc solutions, tight coupling, and vendor lock-in. So how do we design scalable and maintainable interaction between agents and users?
This session shows how open standards like AG-UI, A2UI, and MCP Apps structure Agentic UI. They define clear integration points between frontend and backend, enabling decoupling and better control. You’ll also learn how to combine them with architecture patterns and Human-in-the-Loop concepts such as approvals and co-planning.
By the end, you’ll understand how to design Agentic UI with open standards and integrate agentic systems in a clean, controllable, and decoupled way.

We’re especially proud to welcome Manfred Steyer as one of our speakers. Manfred is a well-known Angular specialist, trainer, consultant, and programming architect with a strong focus on Angular and Agentic AI. As a Google Developer Expert (GDE), he regularly speaks at international conferences and writes for O’Reilly, the German Java Magazine, and windows developer.

Talk 2:
Speaker: Dmytro Mezhenskyi
Zoneless Angular: The Hidden Cost of Zone.js and What Replaces It

Zone.js has been a core part of Angular’s change detection for years. At the same time, it introduces real trade-offs: more challenging debugging, unpredictable performance, increased bundle size, and additional runtime overhead.

In this talk, we’ll start by examining the price we pay for using Zone.js and what practical benefits zoneless mode brings in return: improved performance characteristics, a clearer mental model, and an enhanced developer experience.

After that, we’ll take a short look under the hood of Angular’s zoneless mode. You’ll see how Angular triggers change detection without Zone.js, the role of the ChangeDetectionScheduler, and how the framework knows which exact parts of your application view need to update.
