16 July 2016 in Johannesburg
JSinSA2016 is done and already a month behind us.
Thank you to all our attendees, speakers and sponsors for the support in making the conference a big success.
Demand for tickets once again outstripped supply, even though we grew from 150 in 2015 to 260 in 2016. This shows the growth and maturity of JavaScript in the local community. Hopefully also an increased awareness from companies of the importance of sending their developers to events?
All session videos are now available! JSinSA 2016 session videos
Here are some of the pics from the event for those that didn't attend:
Until next year,

We think all conferences should be free from any form of harassment or discrimination and that everyone should feel welcome and safe in its space.
It's very easy to put something up on our site, but our intention is to actively enforce & live what our code of conduct represents. This is the harder part and we're open to discuss how we can improve.
Physical copies will be available at the event and we'll also cover it in the opening keynote so everyone is aware.
p.s. our venue is wheel-chair and guide dog friendly.
To have a common dialog and understanding, please take a look at our 2016 code of conduct.
The conference organizers and some of our diversity sponsors have budget allocated to assist a few people who would benefit from the conference, but may not have the financial means to attend.
Thanks to all the applicants. These sponsored tickets have been awarded.
Surround yourself with some of the best that South Africa's web fraternity has to offer.
After getting insight into many of the new technologies, you'll be in a good position to leverage these in your next project.
Bring your questions and get them answered by peers face-to-face.
This event will be a fantastic opportunity to make lasting contacts with potential new employees/co-founders/bosses
No longer the domain of script-kiddies and copy & pasters, JavaScript and the community around it has grown up to deliver full-stack solutions that rivals any other platform.
This event brings all the ideas and techniques required to deliver awesomeness together in one room and showcases the power and versatility of JavaScript.
JSinSA is a vendor-neutral conference, so if you're a Ruby, .NET, or Node developer, you'll be at home and surrounded by experts in each of those fields. It's the perfect opportunity to chat with peers in the field and exchange ideas and techniques to broaden your knowledge.
Who should attend?
Anyone keen to learn battle-tested techniques and to see emerging technologies.
