This week, were reaching out to get your voice — on our stage, in our writing, and with your vote on talk proposals.

Vote on ReactFoo Hyderabad talks

After successful editions in Bangalore and Pune, ReactFoo travels to Hyderabad on 17 March. Here’s what we’re curating for you:

  1. Stories of how organizations have integrated React in their front-end workflow or migrated from legacy code to React.
  2. Talks which will help you evaluate alternatives to React.
  3. Sessions on front-end engineering.
  4. Focussed discussions on ReactNative and mobile engineering.

Sounds interesting? Upvote talks on https://reactfoo.talkfunnel.com/2018-hyd/ so that we include your favorite talk in the schedule. Don’t see what you want? Propose a topic and we’ll seek a speaker to deliver it. Or maybe you want to speak at ReactFoo. Submit your proposal right away — CFP closes on this week on Thursday 15 February. Go to https://reactfoo.talkfunnel.com/2018-hyd/ to upvote, suggest or submit.

Want to go the extra mile for ReactFoo? Here are some other ways you can participate:

  1. Volunteer for the conference; contribute your time and skills for the community. Interested? Write to us on info@hasgeek.com, telling us about the events you have volunteered for in the past and what work you did at each. Also tell us why you are interested in chipping for ReactFoo.
  2. Attend the conference to network with peers from Hyderabad, Bangalore and Pune. Share your experience with front-end engineering with experienced developers.
