🗣️ Talks
➡️ Michal Chudziak – Speed Up to Scale Up: Optimizing React Native Startup Times
I would like to invite you all to an informative session on "Speed Up to Scale Up: Optimizing React Native Startup Times." In today's fast-paced world, no one likes to wait, and that holds especially true for mobile apps. Slow startup times can severely hinder user experience and directly impact user retention.

➡️ Vladyslav Bozhko – How Grammarly Built a New Front-End Feature Using Kotlin Multiplatform
Code sharing between native and web clients is never simple. Although many technologies try to solve this problem, not all are easy to use. In this talk, I will share our experience using Kotlin Multiplatform in our front-end projects using our real production feature as an example. During the talk, I’ll share our insights into: - why we chose Kotlin Multiplatform over the alternatives - the pain points we experienced and how we resolved them - what we learned about the technology’s applicability and maturity.

➡️ Mathieu Anderson – Being an Open Source Front-end Developer
We all love open source software. We all use it everyday. And we naturally want to give back! But if you’re a front-end developer, you may struggle to find projects where your specific set of skills can be used to contribute. This talk is about how to find projects where front-end skills are needed and how to get involved in OSS as a front-end engineer.

➡️ Open Mic Lightning Talks – every attendee is welcome to speak (<5min)
