Using Web Component in React 19

Talk Description:
The React 19 beta announcement dropped with a bang a couple of weeks ago, and rightfully so - there are a lot of major changes coming to JavaScript's most used framework (at this point in time). However, one change that seems to have flown somewhat under the radar is the addition of full native Web Component interoperability. In this talk, Schalk will explore the state of Web Components in 2024, the massive cascade of implications this change has for the web going forward, and end with a demo of how you can get started with Web Components in React 19 today.
