FrontTalks: The Beaver’s Path
summary
A local frontend community grew weekly meetups into a twice-yearly conference called Frontogs using a simple Berlin-style site and a ticketing platform, hosting events in cafés to avoid venue costs. Organizers adopted a 30+10+10 talk format, introduced paid tickets (raising conversion to about 90%: 175 sold → ~160 attended), trained speakers with two coaches and repeated talks, and experimented with a two-day program including an English-only day and cross-city telebridges.
