React Native London Conference - Bridgeless, by default.
Right by London Bridge.

The meetup becomes a conference...

We have been hosting React Native London Meetup since 2016, shortly after the framework came out. We started from a couple of engineers huddled around a laptop, to a group of over 3000 members, regularly having 100+ attendees.

This year, were taking it to the next level and organising a conference in the heart of London. But we want to do it with our spin...

Join us for a two day conference, starting with a workshop-day where you can learn from leading experts in the React Native community, followed by the conference day filled with talks from international speakers, interviews with influential community members, a panel with React Native Core Contributors, games like RN-trivia, and so much more!

Building high performance local-first apps with Legend State

Jay Meistrich - Founder @ Legend & Creator of LegendState

This workshop helps you look at common performance problems in React and React Native, and teaches you how to fix them. You will explore the architectural differences between local-first apps and server-driven apps, and what makes local-first hard. Then you will dive into how Legend State makes performance and local-first easy, and the best practices for achieving the best performance and a robust sync system with less code.

Web, Mobile, and API, All Together: Universal Full Stack Apps in Expo Router

Keith Kurak - Developer Success Engineer @ Expo

Expo Router, the first file system-based router for universal React apps, lets Android and iOS apps take advantage of expressive and powerful routing features previously only available to web developers. Your folder and file structure represent your app navigation, while dynamic routes let you pattern match multiple routes to a single page, creating intuitive nested URL's that automatically work as deep links on mobile. Expo Router also makes it easier to target web and mobile, and even frontend and backend in one project, with features like headless navigators and API routes. Let's take a tour of what Expo Router offers for universal React apps, starting with basic and dynamic routing, to adding features like authentication routing, backend routes, and dynamic navigation layouts.

Mixing Native & Web Projects within a Monorepo: Learn to Share Logic and Components.

Thibault Malbranche - Lead Mobile Developer @ Brigad & React Native Core Contributor

Combining native & web projects often comes with practical challenges. What do you share? What do you not share? Let's dive into the challenges to understand how to address the various problems you'll encounter. Let's talk dependency resolution, platform specific implementation & type safety. We will then build a components and utils library leveraging platform-specific features in React Native & React-Dom. If you want to learn how to create universal apps in practice, this is the workshop for you!

Debugging Performance Issues in React Native Apps

Alex Moureaux - Performance SME @ Theodo Apps & Creator of Flashlight

Performance is still the #1 challenge that people face in React Native. We'll start with a custom-built dummy app filled with the typical performance bottlenecks you'll find in your everyday React Native apps. Our goal is simple: measure, analyse, and fix those pesky issues! Together, we'll learn how to use a variety of tools (including React DevTools, Flashlight, JS profiler, Android Studio) and work through each problem one by one to improve the performance of the dummy app. You’ll walk away with a clear, actionable methodology to apply in your own apps to optimise your performance and make your React Native apps buttery smooth.

Hosted at The Brewery

A historical Grade II building in the heart of the City of London.

The Brewery occupies the site of the former Whitbread brewery in East London. In 1750 Samuel Whitbread, having bought property in the area, transplanted his operations to Chiswell Street from two smaller breweries in Old Street and Brick Lane.

Within a few years Whitbread’s brewery had become a vast operation, its sheer size making it an attraction worthy of royal visits. George III, Queen Charlotte, Queen Elizabeth II and Elizabeth the Queen Mother all visited the site.

The venue is within walking distance from 6 of London's tube stations, including London Liverpool St. It is close to the historic London Bridge, Tower of London, and St. Paul's Cathedral. A good chance to squeeze in some tourist visits, if you're visiting London for the first time!
