ngPoznan #36

🎉 We’re back with another, great, evening for the Angular community in Poznań.
📆 Date: 18 May 2026
🕕 Time: 18:00
📍 Venue: Towarowa 55 Poznań, Sala 4.1
🎟️ Participants limit: 60
🇬🇧 Language: English only
ngPoznan #36 brings together people who care about Angular, frontend quality, accessibility, AI-assisted workflows, and the kind of real conversations that only happen when a community meets in person.
This edition combines framework insight, accessibility-first thinking, and advanced frontend architecture - plus the part we always care about just as much: good atmosphere, food, drinks, and time to talk.

💡 Agenda

📣 Welcome & community updates - A quick hello, what’s new around ngPoznan, and what’s coming next.
🧑‍💻 Adrian Romański - Software Engineer @ PushBased, passionate about modern web development and building scalable applications.
The Blueprint of Accessibility: A Deep Dive into Angular Aria
Why bury your head in WAI-ARIA boilerplate when you can architect the experience? This talk dives into the `@angular/aria`source code to show how headless primitives shift our focus from “how to implement” to “which patterns to use.” It also explores the impact on the Accessibility Tree and takes the idea further with Spec-Driven Development via AI Agents, including a Chrome DevTools MCP flow that live-audits the DOM.

👨‍💻 Matthieu Riegler - Software Engineer @ Google, actively contributing to the #Angular ecosystem and shaping the future of the framework.
What if we made Angular a little less… weird?
Angular is about to celebrate its 10th anniversary in just a few months. Over the years, it’s often been labeled as over-engineered, too complex, and yes—many developers have struggled with its steep learning curve.

But Angular didn’t stand still.

It has evolved a lot, growing alongside developers and adapting to a constantly changing ecosystem.

So today, let’s take a step back and explore how Angular became the framework we know now—and what it took to get here.

👨‍💼 Michael Hladky - CEO @ PushBased, Google Developer Expert and Microsoft MVP, known for pushing the boundaries of reactive architectures and performance.
Deterministic AI Workflows for a Large-Scale Code Base
Most AI-driven migrations fail not because the models are insufficient, but because the approach lacks structure, reproducibility, and governance. If your current workflow relies on prompt tweaking, manual retries, and inconsistent results, you are not building an engineering system—you are running experiments. This talk focuses on the core building blocks—prompt design, context and token management, tooling integrations, orchestration, and reusable skills—and shows how to assemble them into deterministic workflows. The result is a controlled, evaluable process that replaces guesswork with measurable outcomes and enables reliable modernization of large legacy codebases.

🍕 What else?

After the talks, as always:

• 💬 relaxed networking
• 🥤 drinks
• 🍕 pizza / food for attendees
• 🎁 JetBrains prizes
• 🧡 time and space to talk to other Angular and frontend folks

Come with teammates or join solo - ngPoznan is built to be friendly, practical, and easy to connect in.
