Yesterday was the [React.js Conf](http://conf.reactjs.com/index.html) call for presenters submission deadline. We were
|
|
|
|
|
surprised to have received a total of **one hundred talk proposals** and were
|
|
|
|
|
amazed that 600 people requested to be notified when ticket go on sale. This is incredible!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When we organized the conference, we decided to start small since this is the
|
|
|
|
|
first React.js conference. Also, we weren't sure what level of demand to expect,
|
|
|
|
|
so we planned for a single-track, two-day conference on Facebook's campus. The
|
|
|
|
|
largest room available would accomodate 18 speaking slots and 200 attendees.
|
|
|
|
|
The spacial configuration makes it difficult to add a second track and changing
|
|
|
|
|
venues only two months in advance would be too difficult, so we are deciding to
|
|
|
|
|
stick with the originally planned format and venue on Facebook's campus.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately, this means that we can only accept a small number of the awesome
|
|
|
|
|
conference talk proposals. In order to make sure attendees get a fair shot at
|
|
|
|
|
registering, we're going to sell tickets in three separate first-come,
|
|
|
|
|
first-serve phases. **Tickets will cost $200 regardless of which phase they are
|
|
|
|
|
purchased from and all proceeds will go to charity**.

We really do wish that everyone could attend React.js Conf, but in order to
|
|
|
|
|
ensure a quality experience for those who attend, we feel it will be best to
|
|
|
|
|
limit the size of the conference to what was originally planned for. This means
|
|
|
|
|
that not everyone who wants to attend will be able to, and many talks that
|
|
|
|
|
would be excellent contributions to the conference will have to be postponed
|
|
|
|
|
until the next conference. All the talks will be recorded and put online shortly after.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We hope to see many of you at React.js Conf this January.
