@thekitze @michlbrmly "Framework-based" conferences were never just about a framework. They were, they are, about listening to some great fellow developers sharing how they work, how they build great software. That’s equally valid and interesting nowadays, if not more so.

In 2018, @ferrannp stood on our stage and showed an app built with React Native. It worked... but you could tell it wasn't quite native.

Eight years later, the bridge is dead, the old architecture is gone, and he’s shipping production apps users can’t distinguish from native. No hype, no docs recap: just 10 years of React Native experience distilled into what matters.

View transitions promise app-like fluidity on the web, but integrating them into real products isn’t always just about a few API calls. It is actually a journey.

In this talk, @ythecombinator will share the story of adopting view transitions at work, covering how browsers implement them, how Astro and React integrate them, as well as real-world patterns, gotchas, accessibility concerns, fallbacks, and performance considerations.

Not long ago, starting a Node.js project meant installing lots of packages just to handle env variables, tests, or TypeScript. Now, those days are behind us.

In this talk, @matteocollina will discuss why it’s time to switch to Node 26, and show through hands-on examples how much you can do with just Node.js and your chosen framework.

As React applications grow, asynchronous logic often becomes fragile: multiple useEffect hooks, ad-hoc retries, loading flags, and scattered error handling.

In this talk, @PopovaViolina will introduce Effect-TS and share practical patterns to make complex async logic predictable, testable, and maintainable in production React apps.

What if there was a TypeScript-first UI framework created by a member of both the React and Svelte core teams, focused on fine-grained reactivity and rendering speed?
In this talk, @erikras will introduce Ripple, show us its syntax and philosophy, and invite us to look beyond the Present and into the Future.

Building app-like UX on the web has historically meant reaching for an SPA. But the cost is high, and the model gets harder to maintain as your app grows.
In this talk, @aurorascharff will show how Next.js takes a different path, which translates into instant-feeling UX, streamed UI, fresh data, coordinated updates, caching across the stack, and strong Core Web Vitals.https://t.co/7EAIYyYcfd

Our jobs as developers are evolving fast. We’re working quicker than ever thanks to AI, but our role is shifting from writing code to orchestrating it.

In this talk, @aileenvl will show her everyday React workflow and how to guide agents without breaking production.

After years of convergence, native platforms look drastically different again. It’s time to leverage the biggest strength of React Native while making our users happier.
@trastknast will explain why RN developers should stop limiting themselves to the lowest common denominator and instead use native components and APIs to build better, faster and more accessible apps.

React's history is full of lessons in dealing with friction. @danieljcafonso will recap the highlights from its birth to its latest release, show what React got right (and wrong) and extract practical takeaways you can apply to your career, team, and developer experience initiatives.

@erikras Just 3 months before the first React Alicante...

[Faris Aziz @farisaziz12]

Sunday is a reset day. Went for the first lake swim of the year and caught up with some admin. Finally got around to booking the next set of flights for @RenderATL and @ReactAlicante! Who’s going to be there? 🤩

[Daniel - Js Craft @js_craft_hq]

Morning walk on the beautiful streets of Cordoba while listening to a very inspirational podcast with @farisaziz12 and @neciudan. Loved the idea of seeing developer educational events as mini start-ups + many knowledge gems on the FE architectural side.
Thank you Spain and the Senors at Scale podcast!

Have your frontend tests ever become flaky, hard to understand, or impossible to trust? Yeah… your are not alone. 😅

In this workshop, Łukasz Nowak will dive into the most common testing misconceptions and show how to build valuable, high-quality frontend test suites using Vite/Jest and Playwright.

In this hands-on workshop, @HowDevelop will show you how to integrate AI directly into your React apps using the newly launched TanStack AI.

You’ll learn how to build a fully agentic app end-to-end, from server setup to streaming clients, tool calling, human-in-the-loop workflows, and real debugging with TanStack DevTools.

TypeScript gives us a powerful type system, but most of us are still writing code that's fragile, hard to test, and full of hidden surprises. What if the compiler could guarantee your functions are honest?
In this hands-on workshop, @FlavioCorpa will rewire how you think about code by applying Functional Programming principles directly in TypeScript.

Design systems are like a well-stocked test kitchen: developers are the head chefs and AI tools are the line cooks. But without machine-readable recipe cards and kitchen rules, AI has to guess, and developers end up with something nobody ordered.

In this workshop, @resource11 will show how to make your design system AI-ready with component metadata, usage guidance, accessibility expectations, and validation.

i agreed to do a 30 min standup comedy set with no slides at @ReactAlicante 2026

it's gonna be a fun challenge 💀

[ReactAlicante ⚛️🌞🥘 @ReactAlicante]

In this hands-on workshop, @farisaziz12 will explore how component architecture, reconciliation in practice, and runtime failure patterns shape performance and operability.

Work through concrete patterns for failure recovery, error containment, safe rollouts, and post-deployment confidence, and leave with a mental model for building frontend systems that fail safely, recover quickly, and ship without fear.
