MagnoliaJS 2020 conference notes

MagnoliaJS was thrown a COVID-19-sized curve ball for it's second annual conference. But that didn't stop the organizer's from hosting Mississippi's only technical conference: they cut the price and pivoted online with Zoom.

Niche graciously "sent" me to this two-day remote conference and here are some of my notes:

I enjoyed having a single track of JS-focused talks. The remote conference had it's own technical issues, but overall I think it was a great content delivery method for these types of topics.

Some of the talks were prerecorded, which might sound like a let down, but the speakers were presents in the chat and willing to answer questions live. That was a neat feature that other conferences cannot offer.

Whether it's remote or in-person in 2021, I recommend checking out MagnoliaJS Conference.
