Node.js Collaborator’s Summit

Time: October 12, 1:00-5:00 pm; October 13, 9:00 am-5:00 pm
Location: Vancouver Convention Centre West Building (multiple rooms)
Cost: Complimentary; Pre-registration required.

The Node.js Collaborator’s Summit is a day and a half event that follows the Node+JS Interactive conference. This is a Node.js community-organized event where individuals involved in the Node.js project will collaborate and discuss subject matters important to them, whether it’s next steps with HTTP/2, diagnostics, modules, website redesign, mentor initiatives, etc.

Both days are open to the public, but the discussions will be highly focused on the Node.js project and its community. This event moves quickly and there will be no onboarding with topic discussions. Non-collaborators often participate as observers.

How to Register: Pre-registration for this summit is required. When you register for Node+JS Interactive, you will be given the option to register for this during check out.
