Frontend Re-United Addis Ababa

Frontend United is the most comfy, people-first, non-profit Frontend conference in the world. Our aim is to connect frontend developers and designers from all kinds of backgrounds closer together to share knowledge, experiences and ideas.
Frontend United yearly host legendary speakers talking about UX, browser performance, theming and Javascript. ​​​​​Sometimes still a bit of Drupal slips in :-)

Info

Frontend United in Ethiopia!

Last year the conference was scaled up in an unconventional way, by organizing remote locations around the world. We labeled these “Frontend Re-United”, where the “Re” hints to Remotely United, but sounds like “reunited” as in coming together again, but in a different way.

Join us in Gebeya!

We will host the live stream on 17 and 18 May 2019 for the first time! We teamed up to make the amazing experience in the FU context.

We will join remotely and enjoy live stream of talks from Utrecht. To make sure live stream is great to watch, FU hired a professional team to get up close to speakers and constantly switch between the slides and follow the speaker around (an example of how that looked like). As a second step, all questions to speakers will be posted only through platform called Slido. It won’t make any difference if you are in Utrecht or Addis Ababa!

Conference program is published and we'll have it adapted to our timezone below.
