Blog
This Blog is an is an experiment and a space for thinking out loud together. Not every post is a breakthrough or a new invention. Instead, this blog captures the ideas, experiments, and reflections that help developers learn from each other. We highlight perspectives from speakers, contributors, and attendees, aiming to surface knowledge that strengthens the community and connects engineers across teams, companies, and borders. Whether you’re attending the conference or following from afar, this is where we continue the technical and human side of building the web together.

We're excited about ZurichJS Conf 2026, taking place September 11th at Technopark Zürich.

We’re going to start exploring paid advertising for ZurichJS Conf! We’re already listed on all the major conf listing sites and made noise through our core channels but it’s time to take it up a notch. Where do you find conferences to go to? Have heard lots of opinions
Welcome to..the ZurichJS Conf stage, @tolin.ski 🚀! Creator of Level Up Tutorials, co-host of @syntax.fm, Executive Producer at @sentry.io and longtime Bboy. From @react.dev, @svelte.dev, DX, observability, and frontend tooling to developer education, Scott has shaped modern web dev for years 💛.
ZurichJS. Strong lineup, well-run community, the kind of single-track conference you can actually keep up with. Code REACTJSBARCELONA_10 for 10% off. https://conf.zurichjs.com/
Wanna follow the ZurichJS crew and our awesome lineup? We made a starter pack for that: go.bsky.app/R5bfzC8
We've designed the ZurichJS Conf pricing, so that you can get 3 days in Zurich (EUR 200), travel (EUR 200), food (EUR 150) and ticket (EUR 295) all under 1K. That's what we're aiming to provide, accessible, non-profit, and community first without sacrificing quality conf.zurichjs.com/trip-cost
Every time I pass by Technopark Zurich now, I get jitters thinking of our upcoming @zurichjs.com Conf in September🥹
Saying what they admire @zurichjs.com looks like an even better conference. Like yeah I want to be part of communities and events that believe in and aspire to this, right? "he represents the kind of open source leadership and culture we deeply admire: thoughtful, sustainable, people-first."
Every time I meet @danielroe.dev , I learn something. Tech, life, everything. And he's joining us at @zurichjs.com conf 🥹. I am so proud to bring his insights, knowledge, and authenticity, to share with our Zurich community! So looking forward to it! 🫶
i promise i’m not going to zurichjs just because they say such nice things i’m really looking forward to it!
@danielroe.dev 💛 @nuxt.com lead, creator of npmx.dev, and deeply involved across Nitro, SSR, DX, and the @vuejs.org ecosystem. But beyond the technical side, he represents the kind of open source leadership and culture we deeply admire: thoughtful, sustainable, people-first. Excited to have him!
Time to chat about payments with @farisaziz12.bsky.social with an extra of some love to @zurichjs.com
@tkdodo.eu, maintainer of @tanstack.com query and one of the sharpest voices in frontend architecture. From async state management and cache design to TypeScript and tools like Knip, Dominik champions clarity, maintainability, and thoughtful engineering over hype. Excited to have him at ZurichJS ❤️

@bugdan.dev and I spent last night viewing spots for our @zurichjs.com speakers dinner. We spend so much time together but rarely spending quality time. Grateful for those moments and it felt so surreal exploring those spots. It’s going to be awesome 🤩
100% agree! TIL that there are confs with no CoC 😅. It does seem like sponsor talks are becoming more frequent these days because that’s the only way to get sponsorship. We’ve easily lost over 50K EUR in sponsor money cause we don’t accept paid talks at @zurichjs.com.
We’re incredibly excited to welcome @salihgueler.dev to the stage! Senior Developer Advocate at AWS, Google Developer Expert and a familiar face across the React, Flutter, AI, and cloud communities, but more importantly, one of the most genuine and engaging people in tech. Can’t wait to have him🫶🏻
