About us
If you mix a group of coding-addicts that believe in the need for constant learning, what would be the result? A Blockbuster science fiction series, like “Stranger Things”. Or, the hosts of live webinar events.
If you want to know everything about ReactJS, this group is for you. You will have the opportunity to connect with people who share the same interests and are willing to share their skills. Our aim for the members is to be exposed to an inspirational environment for sharing experiences and knowledge in order to enhance their career or personal learning.
Welcome to React Athens group!

Faris Aziz - The Hidden Battleground, Engineering High-Conversion Payment Experiences
For most products, the checkout is the most critical and fragile part of the funnel. It’s where traffic turns into revenue, where small UX regressions compound into large financial losses, and where system failures become immediately visible on the balance sheet. This talk explores how to build resilient, high-converting payment experiences as systems, not screens. Drawing on hundreds of A/B experiments run on tens of millions of users and lessons from operating a global subscription platform generating tens of millions in annual recurring revenue, we’ll look at how payment orchestration evolves as products scale across regions, currencies, and providers. We’ll cover how to design checkout UX that converts consistently even for low-frequency products, how to orchestrate multiple gateways without leaking complexity to the user, and how to test and monitor flows where failure tolerance is extremely low. Along the way, I’ll even show a shocking example where adding just two form inputs, implemented correctly, could cost over a million dollars in lost revenue. This is a practical talk from the trenches about why checkout is a hidden battleground, and how resilient payment engineering protects both conversion and growth.
George Karalis - Exploring MCP Apps: Practical Use Cases for the Enterprise
What happens when you give an LLM structured access to your company's actual systems, its APIs, data, internal tools? MCP Apps are a new extension to the Model Context Protocol that lets servers return interactive HTML interfaces, dashboards, forms, data explorers, rendered directly inside the conversation. Instead of bouncing users between chat and separate web apps, the UI lives right where the discussion happens, with bidirectional data flow and sandboxed security. We'll look at how tool handlers expose API endpoints to LLMs, how OAuth fits into the picture, and how the data and context flow into a React app rendered inside the conversation. Whether you're considering MCP for your own product or just curious about what generative UI looks like, this talk will give you a practical intro on building AI-native enterprise tools with React.
