Frontend Re-United Chicago
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 hosts legendary speakers talking about UX, browser performance, theming and Javascript. Sometimes still a bit of Drupal slips in :-)
We'll be live-streaming sessions in the morning, then selecting from the pre-recorded sessions in the afternoon. Join us for a one-day remote conference, where the folks in the room will decide the agenda, we'll all learn a ton, and you'll get to reach across the tech that divides us and meet some new friends.
Info
Frontend Re-United in Chicago!
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 at One Design Company!
We will host the live stream on 17 May 2019 for the first time in Chicago! We teamed up with One Design to make this amazing experience free for everyone.
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 Chicago!
Conference program is published and we'll have it adapted to our timezone. See the Schedule tab for details.

Diversity statement
Diversity statement
We want to be welcoming to all people. That means any gender, race, ethnicity, size, nationality, sexual orientation, religion or culture. People that embrace and express publicly racist or sexist beliefs and views, or promote intolerance in any way, can not attend Frontend United as speaker or as attendee.
Our doors are open to all forms of developers, from the Flash-educated generation to JavaScript-oriented gurus, from vegans to omnivores and introvert to extrovert people. We like you just as much if you write code listening to metal or to reggae, in comfy pants at home or all dressed up at work. We embrace all frontend-people and we read somewhere that backend-people aren’t as bad as we thought they were. :)
