If JavaScript and Node.js are your thing, take a look at NodeConf.eu — a community-driven event in beautiful Bologna, Italy, on 29 and 30 September 2026.
Expect two days of talks on Node.js applications, runtimes, tooling, observability, architecture and production systems — with enough breathing room between sessions for the hallway track. On the evening of 29 September, the whole conference sits down together for a proper Bolognese evening of food, wine and conversation. It's included in your ticket.
