You're cordially invited to attend the 2022 Andreessen Horowitz React.js Holiday Party! This is a special evening of fun conversations, reflections, sponsor exhibits, live jazz music, dinner & drinks, and 2 special presentations from some very inspiring guests:

• ​Tom Occhino is a former Facebook Engineering Director who helped create React and React Native. After joining the company as a software engineer in 2009 he helped develop user-facing products, core front-end infrastructure, and Facebook's open source program. As an engineering manager and director he was responsible for the JavaScript infrastructure, React, and Web Core orgs, and most recently led a ground up rewrite of facebook.com before leaving the company in 2021.
• ​Max Stoiber is the co-founder of Stellate, the GraphQL CDN formerly known as GraphCDN. About 1% of all public, crawlable websites use an open source tool he invented: styled-components. He also made Bedrock, the premium full-stack SaaS boilerplate. Previously, he worked on JavaScript tooling at Gatsby and architected a greenfield React app at GitHub after they acquired his startup Spectrum, the community platform of the future.
• ​Theo Browne is the founder & CEO of ping.gg and a popular YouTuber. He streams about topics related to web development, including his own experience building the "t3" stack, which leverages tRPC heavily. Formerly he was a backend engineer at Twitch before founding his own startup. He is replacing Alex Johansson on this panel, the co-creator of the [tRPC.io](http://trpc.io/), who had to cancel his appearance due to an injury.
• ​Brian Douglas is the founder and CEO of Open Sauced where he works on increasing the knowledge and insights of open-source communities. In the past he’s lead Developer Advocacy at GitHub by fostering a community of early adopters through content creation showcasing the newest Github features. Brian has a passion for open-source and loves mentoring new contributors through Open Sauced, the platform that empowers the best developers to work in open-source.
