After more than a decade

ng-conf is dead. Long live ng-conf.

Okay, that sounds dramatic. But it’s also kind of true.

For over ten years, ng-conf brought the Angular community together to learn, teach, and build.

That chapter is closing, and what we built together is moving forward.

Ten years of ng-conf. Thank you.

ng-conf was one of the best parts of my professional life.

A place where people learned, taught, connected, wore some sweet conference swag, and somehow made a tech conference feel like a family reunion.

We built something special together.

Whether you attended, spoke, sponsored, volunteered, or just watched the streams from your desk, you made ng-conf what it was.

Thank you.

The conversation got bigger than Angular

Right as I was making this hard decision, Stephen Fluin said, “you know, someone should do ___.”

And it resonated.

Today’s developers work across Angular, React, Vue, Node, full-stack systems, AI coding tools, agents, and IDE workflows, plus whatever launches next week that makes us all say, “okay, I guess I need to learn that now.”

So ng-conf isn’t really disappearing. It’s evolving.

Introducing Ai Dev Craft

Ai Dev Craft is a new conference for professional developers using AI to build real software, not to churn out unmaintainable slop.

Real teams. Real codebases. Real decisions about when AI is useful, when it’s dangerous, and when it’s just confidently making up statistically valid nonsense.

The heart is the same: craft, community, and helping developers become the people their teams rely on.

The focus is new, built for the way we work now.

It’s happening this October in Las Vegas.
