Halihax

We wanted a community where developers and designers of all skill-levels and interests could come together and freely discuss everything web, front to back. So we made it, it's called HFX.js.

Are you into the latest design trends? Great! Do you want to share and hear about all things JavaScript? Perfect!

This event will have speakers with varying backgrounds discussing front-end, and web tech. We will have 1 lightning talk from an up-and-coming techie, and 1 full talk from a senior engineer with years of experience in the field of web. We encourage students, hobbyist, and professionals alike to come and join in creating the most open, and inclusive front-end community we can!

This event will be held at the Dash Hudson offices in downtown Kjipuktuk (Halifax). There will be snacks and drinks for everyone.
