What to Expect
HalfStack events are fun, creative single-track, single-day events focused on the possibilities of the JavaScript and web ecosystem. Hosted in relaxed environments, HalfStack provides authentic, high value experiences for all attendees.
The priority for HalfStack is the attendee experience, with great food, drinks, sessions, swag, and community. Hosted by London’s original JavaScript meetup group, HalfStack has run events in Belgrade, Charlotte, London, Newquay, New York, Phoenix, and Vienna!
HalfStack carefully curates sessions that inspire and inform the audience in a highly interactive and entertaining manner. Each HalfStack event provides an intimate feeling where each attendee has time to meet one another.

Leo RivieraLet’s talk about… joining a cult (or side projects, and how to do them right)
HalfStack provides the ultimate showcase for side projects, so let’s talk about… joining a cult (or side projects, and how to do them right). We'll cover the 13 principles of the Cult of Done manifesto, written by Bre Pettis and Kio Stark, and how to practically apply them in software engineering and other creative endeavours!

HalfStackAfterparty (JS Pub Quiz and more)
We will kick off the afterparty with Battledecks, a tech improv game. You have 5 minutes to pitch a fake tech startup from a randomly generated slide deck. Then we'll proceed in teams with our unique JS Pub Quiz! If there's interest, we'll conclude with karaoke.
