About us

TorontoJS is a 100% volunteer run community and non-profit that supports everyone in their learning and passion for sharing knowledge in JavaScript and software development.

We’ve grown from the merging of a few local meetups 10 years ago to be one of the largest tech meetups in the world!
Our members and volunteers are in Toronto, the GTHA, and so many places around the world.
TorontoJS has an active program of in-person and online events, community software projects, and a supportive Slack community.

We’re growing and have in-person and online volunteer opportunities for all areas of the tech community: developers, designers, UIUX, a11y/accessibility product, QA, and more.

TorontoJS is dedicated to providing a welcoming, safe, inclusive and supportive environment for all regardless of their gender, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, or religion.

🕑 Agenda & Schedule ✨
- 18:30 - Attention Attention Everywhere by Dev Shah
  Abstract: In modern AI transformers, "attention is all you need"—but what does it actually compute? Demystify the mechanism step by step using real numbers. Learn why tokens split into queries, keys, and values, and verify the math against real GPT-2 weights, including why heads focus on token #1. A technical walkthrough.
- 19:00 - Create an AI agent with Vercel AI SDK by Emily Xiong
  Abstract: In this session, I’ll share how I "vibe coded" a custom AI Code Reviewer using Next.js and the Vercel AI SDK. We will break down the core capabilities of the Vercel AI SDK, comparing its unified approach to the manual overhead of using direct LLM APIs like OpenAI or Gemini.
- 19:30 - Beyond Motion Generation by Karin Fam
  Abstract: AI can now generate an animation in seconds, but generation is the easy part. The real challenge starts when motion needs to ship consistently across dozens of screens, platforms, and teams.
  In this talk, Karin looks at what comes after the prompt: how to think about animation as a system rather than a one-off asset, why scale and governance matter as much as creativity, and how teams can build motion workflows that stay consistent, performant, and on-brand as they grow.
- 20:00 - Networking
- 21:00 - Doors Close
