What?
RVA JavaScript Conf is a one-day conference dedicated to all things JavaScript. 2025 will be the sixth year for RVA JavaScript Conf. Each year’s conference has been a great event with a sell-out crowd. We expect this year to be even better.
We are anticipating running 3 concurrent talks, at roughly 45 minutes each with 6 planned session times throughout the day. If you would like to have Q&A time, please incorporate into the 45 minute session time allotted. We are interested in any and all topics in the JavaScript ecosystem. Our audience will be several hundred JavaScript Developers, coming together to further their skills.
When?
Friday, March 14th, 2025
The schedule is not finalized, but all talks are expected to occur between 9:00AM and 5:00PM.
Where?
Snead School of Business at the Virginia Commonwealth University Richmond, VA
The organizers are providing parking at the Jefferson Street Parking Deck (at no charge to attendees or speakers) directly across from the venue. Please inquire for more information on public transportation options.

What Topics?
While we are interested in any and all topics surrounding the vast JavaScript domain; we would also love to see talks around Deno, Bun, Next.js, Astro, Solid, Qwik, Preact, SWC, Tauri, Stencil, Vite, Remix, etc.. as well as the OG’s like React, Vue, Angular (I heard it’s making a comeback), Svelte, and Node.js. Don’t feel limited in any any - talks on front end development or backend development are awesome. We want to hear strong opinionated talks about server first patterns like Partial Hydration, Islands Architecture, Multi Page Application, or Streaming SSR . Or your thoughts on browser support, build tools, state management, performance, security. Really anything you think our audience would want to hear – or needs to hear. :) It can be something new and cutting edge or a fresh take on an old problem. We are looking for a diverse set of topics and do not plan to have specific tracks. The only restrictions are that it is relevant to our audience and conforms to the code of conduct.
Who Should Submit?
Everyone is encouraged to submit a proposal. Our primary goal is to have excellent sessions that inform and engage our attendees. Thus, the speaker selection committee will be favoring speakers who have a record of delivering excellent talks, but we also understand that everyone has to start somewhere. If you are a first-time speaker, please make sure your proposal is compelling and communicates why you are the right person to deliver it.
We are hoping to have speaker pool that is representative of our local developer population and showcases some regional talent, but we welcome submissions from anyone anywhere. If you have an idea for a session, please submit it!
