Agenda & Schedule ✨
6:00 pm - Doors Open: Check-in, welcome, Food & Beverages 🕕🍕
6:30 pm to 7:00 pm - SVGs didn't listen...Until I spoke JavaScript
Speaker: Kiarash Bahrami
Abstract: This presentation explores my journey with SVGs starting with curiosity, facing frustration over unresponsive elements, and finally unlocking their full potential using JavaScript. I’ll share how I overcame challenges, made SVGs interactive, and discovered their hidden superpowers with JS. The focus will be on React, especially its mature SSR environment.
7:00 pm to 7:30 pm - Is It Accessible Now? My Beginner’s Journey to WCAG Certification
Speaker: Aleksei Veselovskii
Abstract: I will talk about my first experience in accessibility and preparing a website for WCAG certification. I will briefly overview what is WCAG, review some accessibility tools provided by macOS, browser tools for debug, sources of information that I used, how process went and my impressions about this journey.
7:00 pm to 7:30 pm - Discover the power of Model Context Protocol
Speaker: Dev J. Shah
Abstract: In this session, I will delve into the fundamentals of MCP, showing how it facilitates direct connections between AI agents and data sources. Further, I will highlight the distinctions between MCP and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), emphasizing MCP's advantages in dynamic tool invocation and real-time data interactions.
7:30 pm to 9:00 pm - Networking 🤝
9:00 pm - doors close 🚪
