# FFConf 2026

> FFConf 2026 is a one-day, single-track conference about the web and JavaScript. It takes place on Friday 13 November 2026 at the Duke of York's Picturehouse cinema in Brighton, UK. Eight talks run from 9am to 6pm, followed by an evening social. FFConf has run every year since 2009 and is organised by Left Logic.

FFConf is for web developers, front-end developers, designers and anyone who still cares about the web and its community. The talks are meant to be experienced in the room rather than bookmarked for later.
