Thanks for the great list!
Nice! Thanks Steph.
Very useful reference, thank you :)
Where does a conf go to get this updated to include their listing?
Check out the links at the bottom of the article for submitting new conferences.
You forgot UXLx.
To add to your list: http://2016.fromthefront.it/ and http://frontporch.io/ (no 2016 date announced yet, but generally happens in October).
You’re missing Front-Trends conference, May 18-20th 2016 in Warsaw, Poland.
JS Remote Conf https://jsremoteconf.com/ run by @jsjabber is Jan 14-16
Just noticed you had a form, so I submitted the conference to it. Thanks
I would love if there was a more exclusive list that can show any upcoming conferences being offered online!

Russia’s one of the most popular conferences FrontTalks will be 17-18 september at Ekaterinburg (http://fronttalks.ru, http://lanyrd.com/2016/fronttalks2016/)
Post updated! Thank you for all of your updates. There’s a survey form at the bottom of the post for any future submissions.
You just missed dotCSS in Paris , probably for next year to schedule :)
The link to UX Scotland is broken. (You’re missing the
http://.)Updated, thanks!
Just updated the list again with 10 more! Keep em coming :)
Hello. Thank you for this list. However, I can’t seem to find much info online on JSLovers Tech Conf in India. Can you update the post with the link?
I’m sorry, this information was provided via the form at the bottom of the post, and they left the link input blank. :/ I can’t find information, either, but perhaps as it gets closer, they will provide more information.
Ok, thanks!
Hey,
Great list of events. A few updates/corrections on mine. beyond tellerrand tickets already start at €179 for two days. So it is €179 early bird, then €279 standard.
There also is a second edition in Berlin every year. First week in November always. In 2016 it is November 7—9.
Thanks and keep up the fantastic work!

Thank you Marc! We updated the post, please let us know if you see anything else that needs changing.
Thanks you, Sarah!
The link for webdesignday.com is broken. I’m on mobile so I can’t verify but it’s probably missing the http bit.
Updated! Thank you for the heads up.
Hey, the js conf Uruguay is comming more about this here ->
https://jsconf.uy/
Updated! Thank you
Howdy! Thanks for listing us. We haven’t started selling tickets yet. We are preparing to launch our new site and CFP this week. Could you update to reflect we aren’t sold out :D I think that was looking at last year’s site. We keep all prior year websites intact post-event for prosperity.
And I should have mentioned ‘us’ was EmpireJS. Wanh Wanh.
Hi Tracy, sorry about that! I’ve updated your listing to show that you’re not sold out. Please let me know once you’ve updated your site this week and I’ll get all the changes reflected here and in the calendar. You can use the form at the bottom of the page, or respond to this comment thread with the details.
Thanks!
