Frontend Dev Conf 2016: the heroes, events and surprises of the conference

Having a little breath after the last event, namely 2 weeks, we are ready to tell in colors how the traditional conference Frontend Dev Conf .

On April 16, the international conference Frontend Dev Conf! For the fourth time, we managed to unite more than 300 participants under its authority and make FDConf a loud event in the frontend get-together.

The venue is an unusual venue - one of the Minsk cinemas. What provided the participants with comfortable conditions, amazing sound and reports on the largest screens of the city!

Conference heroes

Our team of IT Event organizers together with the Program Committee, which for the fourth year includes the most knowledgeable and curious representatives of the Minsk frontend community: Dima Dudin, Yura Tatenko, Vova Dashukevich, Yegor Myasnikov and Vasya Vanchuk - were happy to share their work with the participants .

The conference program was full of “newbies”, as well as already familiar and beloved speakers.

Minko Gechev told everyone about the virtues of Angular 2, why you should not be afraid of him and what are its advantages.

A friend of FDConf, Ilya Klimov, pleased the public with his own charm and sense of humor, as well as the report “Analysis of the performance of web applications in 2016”.

Not without reports on React and Redux.

Everyone could ask questions to Rob Eisenberg, who was glad to tell about his new creation - Aurelia.

The participants also had the opportunity not only to listen about new frameworks, trend frameworks and ... frameworks, but also to learn more about a language like Dart. Speaker Evgeny Gusev actively and convincingly urged everyone to "go to the dark side of power" :)

Developments

The final of the conference was the report of one of the members of the Program Committee - Vova Dashukevich, who impressed everyone with energy, sparkling humor and absolute “actualism”.

Vova told about the past, present and future of JavaScript, thereby adding fuel to the fire for the Panel discussion, in which the speakers discussed not only FDConf 2016, but also last year’s conference, who came to Minsk as participants of the event.

Surprises

All those who, for whatever reason, did not want to be in the halls, always found something to their liking in the halls where the stands and
activity of the conference partners.

Here you could have a real fight in a kicker, let go of worries and get a portion of massage from a professional massage therapist, and even win Apple Watch O_O

The most gambling participants of not one coffee-pause “stretched their brains” after solving difficult puzzles.
The prizes were not cool either (the organizers would also like to fight, but not before).

But the main rally all waited ahead

Together with the Game Partner and the Code Enjoy team, we offered everyone to fight for the Giro Scooter, where you could have fun (not a fact that exactly) go home after the afterparty.

So it happened. After two stages of the quest, the strongest won and received a gift with a happy smile.

Many pleasant reviews and funny photos can be found on social networks under the hashtag #fdconf .

Traditionally, FDConf became a platform where you could hear about all the trends of the front-end, both in hot discussions over a cup of coffee, and peaceful conversations over a glass of foam.

From the most fun afterparty stories: an unforgettable master class "How you need to measure the frontend!"

No one remained indifferent!

And to all those who could not attend in person, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the presentations of the speakers right here and now.
