CONFERENCE VeNUE

Following the conference tradition, we’re meeting once again at Wrocław Congress Center. Our venue is a part of the Centennial Hall Complex, which dates back to the early XX century and is inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List. Its proximity to nature and Multimedia Fountain makes Wrocław Congress Center a great place to both learn and relax.
Wrocław Congress Center, Wystawowa 1, 51-618 Wrocław

CONFERENCE LOCATION

Welcome to Wrocław, the historical capital of Lower Silesia, built on 100 bridges. The name may be challenging to pronounce (let’s try it together, /ˈvɹɔts.wɑf/), but your stay there will surely be easygoing. As Poland’s third-largest city, Wrocław’s been dubbed the meeting place for a reason: not only is it located in the center of Europe, but it’s also a fast-developing business hub with a large student population and some unforgettable historical landmarks. Could you imagine a better place to hone your skills, get inspired, and connect with fellow React Native enthusiasts? We definitely can't!
