Now that **AI is writing code** for us, and we’re writing more code than ever, **keeping an eye on the performance** of our applications is essential for **fighting that AI-sloppy feeling** and ensuring users continue to have a **great experience** using your app.

Come learn from **Jenna**, a seasoned performance engineer with experience keeping complex apps like Slack and Notion fast, as she discusses strategies for ensuring your web app continues to run speedily and also how to pair with AI to debug performance issues when things start to lag.

One morning, [Jenna Zeigen](https://jenna.is/) ([@zeigenvector](https://bsky.app/profile/zeigenvector)) awoke to find that she had transformed into a programmer, and she’s been psyched about JavaScript ever since. She’s made a niche for herself making complicated web apps faster by building a performance culture rooted in understanding the inner-workings of the systems the app is built on. Outside of this, Jenna has been an organizer of several JavaScript communities and gets immense joy out of explaining complex topics in unique ways.

We will have **food and drinks** and as always, we are going to have **geekaways** with **geeky prizes** provided by our sponsors.

**Agenda:**
6:00PM - Arrive at the venue, meet other members
6:15PM - Event starts
6:30PM - **React Performance in the Age of AI** (Jenna Zeigen)
7:15PM - Q&A
7:45PM - "Books and Stuff" geekaways
8:00PM - Open Discussion, Networking

Make sure to **fill out your legal name** and **bring your ID** to show at security desk.

Please make sure to allow for additional time to go through security downstairs and be prepared to put all your electronics through security screening.
