React Advanced Canada 2026
We will be diving deep
Get ready for a deep dive into the latest in React and Web development. Learn directly from the engineers shaping the ecosystem and from early adopters pushing the boundaries at one of the most respected React events, now launching in Canada.
The concept of the event is both about covering all you need to catch up on in the React ecosystem, combined with deep technical exploration of the latest architectural trends, new feature adoption, and efficient ways to solve complex problems.
Expect engaging discussion rooms, expert-led workshops, hallway track chats, and dozens of inspiring talks. While developers of all levels are welcome, be ready for some seriously in-depth content.

Making Meaningful Contributions to Open Source

Making Meaningful Contributions to Open Source
Open source projects need help – but not always in the ways you think! Once you know enough React to be helpful, it's natural to think about features or improvements you can add to your favourite repositories. But maintainers are typically overburdened and even "help" can create extra work for them. This talk will show how you can make meaningful contributions (including, but not limited to code!) that will endear you to maintainers so you can contribute with confidence and work with maintainer goals to support their work.

From 67ms to 6ms: Engineering Performance at Scale for React Data Visualizations
This talk reveals how systematic performance engineering transformed a critical flamegraph visualization from unusable (67ms render times) to production-ready (6ms), achieving 90% improvement through viewport culling, React optimization patterns, and automated benchmarking infrastructure. Learn the methodology, tools, and architectural decisions that enabled enterprise-scale data visualization performance.
A Study in React.js

A Study in React.js
Senior dev Java Scriptson joins the React team. He meets Refactor Holmes, a consulting developer and expert in legacy codebases. The two soon find themselves digging into a string of serial “regressions”. Follow them as Holmes exposes how you can deduce technical debt hotspots, subtil change couplings, and knowledge mappings from git logs. By the end of this story, you will know how to investigate your own codebase to come up with a plan to improve code quality that could convince Scotland Yard… and probably your manager too!
