For devs who ship.

React Melbourne is a JavaScript meetup for engineers who build real things. We run quarterly gatherings covering React, React Native, Flux, React Router, Webpack β€” and the wider web and mobile ecosystem that surrounds them.

No gatekeeping. No brand pitches dressed up as talks. Just working engineers sharing what they learned, what broke, and what they'd do differently next time.

Newcomers welcome. Senior folks welcome. If you're curious about React or deep in a five-year codebase, there's a seat for you.

CALLING SPEAKERS

Got a talk in you? Good.

You don't need a polished conference deck. Fifteen minutes on something you learned, shipped, or screamed at. If you've got a story, we've got a mic, a projector, and a roomful of devs who actually want to hear it.
