Byteconf JavaScript is a 100% free two-day conference with the best JavaScript speakers and teachers in the world. Conferences are great, but flights, hotels, and tickets are expensive, so not everyone can go. Byteconf is streamed on Twitch, for free, so anyone and everyone can attend. We’re building a community of developers around the world - see you there?

In 2018, we ran three conferences: Byteconf React, Byteconf ReasonML, and Byteconf React Native. We had a lot of fun growing our audience - a smart, engaged group of people learning to code (especially web developers) around the world. In 2019, we’re kicking Byteconf into high gear and running events across the spectrum of the software world. Byteconf JS is one of our marquee events in 2019: our first two-day conference, with the expectation of the largest audience we’ve had so far. Don’t miss it!


We’re looking for great speakers of all experience levels to speak at Byteconf JavaScript. What’s unique about Byteconf is the location: it’s completely streamed online. This means that you don’t need to travel, be able to afford flights, or a hotel to speak at the conference – we want to reach people where they are, regardless of socioeconomic situation.

So, about you as a speaker. Our audience is incredibly enthusiastic, and we want to work with speakers who are really excited to teach people. You don’t need to have experience as a speaker, and if you don’t have the right gear to record a talk, we’ll send them to you! We want to support great speakers, but we also want to help people grow into great speakers. If you have a topic that you think is interesting, or if you want to teach people about the way that you look at code, consider submitting a talk idea (or multiple)!

We have two kinds of talks: “full talks”, which are 45-55 minutes in length (we usually build in time for promotional materials in-between talks, but we ask for a minimum of 45min and a maximum of 55), and lightning talk, which are 5-10 minutes in length.

This is the first time we’ve done lightning talks! You can give a presentation around anything you want - we’re especially interested in things that are different than the usual conference talk or lightning talk. The conference isn’t location-dependent, so if you want to record something away from the computer, or if you want to try something really bizarre and interesting, go for it! We’re into it 😎

We ask that speakers prerecord their talks, and deliver both the talk and an introductory video (so we can put a face to the voice/code) and have them delivered to us about one or two weeks before the conference.

Our speaker alumni have one thing they always mention as a particularly cool part about Byteconf: the live chat. We encourage our speakers to hop into the Twitch chat and hang out with our audience as their talk airs. This is a great chance to answer questions, build connections, and grow your audience. It’s a unique dynamic that we haven’t seen at any other conference!

Questions before you submit? Shoot us an email: conf@bytesized.xyz. Thanks, and hope to see your submission soon!
