The Rolling Scopes Conference

What's up front-end folks!

On behalf of Minsk front-end/JavaScript community, The Rolling Scopes crew is glad to announce the upcoming RSConf2016 front-end conference! February 2015 was too awesome to do it just once :)

This winter Minsk will once again become a gathering spot for amazing people of the front-end scene presenting hot topics and sharing their expertise and vision. Currently the agenda is still work-in-progress, but we can promise you two full days of delicious content: Workshop Saturday and Conference Sunday! We hope to treat you to talks in both standard-length and lightning format so we issue the Call for Papers at our full lung capacity! Workshops, presentations, lightning talks – we want it all at rolling.scopes@gmail.com (primary conference language is English).
Let’s Roll!
