In this hyper-digitized and connected world, brands struggle to keep all their touchpoints up and running for a perfect customer journey. At iO, we believe that experience is everything. Every touchpoint and interaction should provide a seamless experience for the consumer, as their digital tolerance has reached absolute zero, putting immense pressure on companies.

🎙Talks

➡️ Boosting Web App Speed: Practical Strategies for High-Performance Applications by Mohi Bagherani
Deliver a practical and insightful session on optimizing web app performance, focusing on real-world techniques to enhance speed, availability, and user satisfaction. Explore topics such as caching, lazy loading, client-side rendering, and leveraging modern tools like Dynatrace and Chrome Lighthouse. Learn how to scale architectures, prevent thread blockers, and align with Core Web Vitals to deliver faster, more efficient web experiences.

➡️ Unorthodox Performance by Maksim Shastsel
Performance advice tells us to reduce bundle size, minimize re-renders, and optimize everything to the extreme. But do we really need to? Is there anything else we can explore to make our apps look and feel faster—and if we’re lucky, actually be faster?
In this talk, we will review some conventional wisdom and explore techniques beyond it, like different UX strategies, overfetching, and modern Web APIs. We’ll even ask an unexpected question: Can SEO and LSO (LLM Search Optimisation) help with performance?

➡️ React Code Smell: Patterns & Antipatterns by Sergei Panarin
I'll cover typical smelling Antipatterns of React that I've encountered refactoring code in many projects and offer easy-to-use patterns that you can start using today.
