The O'Reilly Fluent Conference was first launched in 2012 as a new event for developers working with JavaScript, HTML5, and other web technologies. Since its initial launch, Fluent has expanded to include all areas of the web as it has grown up, from frontend technologies/frameworks and backend systems to web design, web performance, security, and more.
These technologies have become central to all kinds of development, beyond just building websites. If you're building web applications, designing for mobile devices, or working with the web's evolving infrastructure, you need to keep up with the proliferation of new technology that's driving the web forward in all the forms it takes.
At Fluent, you'll immerse yourself in learning and engage with the wider web community. Fluent's speakers are people who are working with—and sometimes building—the same technologies you use. Fluent offers a variety of forums for learning, from immersive tutorials and sessions with experts to the "hallway track" between sessions where attendees informally connect and share questions, knowledge, and perspectives with their peers.
If you're working on the modern web—whether you're independent or part of a large team—and you want to gain hands-on learning, make meaningful connections, and share ideas across communities, then Fluent is the place for you. If you want to grow more fluent in speaking the language of the global, expanding, maturing web, we invite you to join us at Fluent!
Thousands of JavaScript developers, web developers, mobile app developers, software and performance engineers, and a wide range of other people who work on the modern web come together at Fluent.
Fluent is a place to find your tribe and to connect with other communities and people you've always wanted to meet. Whether you're a regular at conferences and your local meetup or you're completely new to the conference scene, Fluent provides different opportunities for you to interact with people in the wider web community.
