HolyJS, a large Russian conference for JavaScript developers, will take place on June 16-17, 2020 in St. Petersburg. It should not be confused with numerous frontend conferences: the talks will be not only about the frontend, but also the backend, the desktop, and work with hardware.

JavaScript is the most popular programming language in the world (according to GitHub and RedMonk), but there was no Russian JS conference before. We have changed it: HolyJS brings under one roof more than 1000 JS developers ready to discuss technical problems with JavaScript experts from all around the world.

HolyJS 2020 Piter, June 16-17, St. Petersburg

Visit the most beautiful city in Russia (and it's not an exaggeration!) as a speaker of our conference.

St. Petersburg has got the "World's Leading Cultural City Destination 2016" award and has become one of the top 25 cities in the world for visiting in 2017 (according to TripAdvisor). In 2019 St. Petersburg won in two World Travel Awards nominations — "World's Leading Cultural City Destination" and "Europe's Leading City Destination". This means it's not only internationally recognized, but also open and safe for anyone (regardless of gender, race, religion, etc.).

If your talk gets accepted to the program, we’ll reimburse all your travel experiences. We'll transfer you to the conference venue and organize a cultural program, which is not limited to the conference itself and the restaurant. We also offer you a guiding tour to get you acquainted with the city and its culture while hanging out with other speakers.
