Behind the scenes

You might wondering how this list was built.

To ensure correctness, I have not used AI, but instead, using a set of Python scripts, I scanned the following conferences (Dec 1st):

• JSWORLD Conference

• JSNation

• VueConf

• ViteConf

• Next.js Conf

• CascadiaJS

• React Day Berlin

• React Summit

• React Universe Conf

• as well as over 100 more conferences to ensure complete coverage.

As you can see, these include both frontend/full stack ones as well as those that are not related but included relevant talks.

Voilà!

Please let me know what you think.
