NodeSource Team Supports JSConf Colombia for the Event’s 10th Anniversary

Posted on by

Over a thousand developers gathered together two weeks ago to engage in all things JavaScript at the sold-out JSConf Colombia (https://www.jsconf.co/) while celebrating its 10th year in Medellin. Our NodeSource team members (current and past) played impactful roles in leading, planning, and speaking to support the community event. We are incredibly proud of our Colombian team members, who are a massive part of creating our best-in-class OSS N|Solid Runtime and premium platform N|Solid Pro.

Adrian Estrada, our VP of Engineering and OpenJS Foundation Board Member, has been a key leader for years in supporting Colombia’s Node.js and JS community. His great passion for technology and enabling people to develop and grow makes him a fantastic leader for our global engineering team and community engagement. Alongside Adrian, Julian Duque, a NodeSource alumni, has also been instrumental in the Colombian JavaScript community. His leadership and contributions have significantly shaped the region’s JavaScript development landscape. Julian’s efforts, combined with Adrian’s dedication, underscore the deep involvement and influence NodeSource has in nurturing and advancing the tech community in Colombia.

This event has had an incredible decade-long run, with a commitment to breaking down barriers, promoting accessibility, and creating a space that champions diversity. As the last in the series, the community was committed to making this final event one to remember.

The event opened to local musicians on stage, setting the tone for a joyous and creative experience. Talks at the event showcased the diversity of the community, including topics like “Making Art with JavaScript and Garbage,” “Unlock the Power of JavaScript Generators,” “IDX, WebIDE’s and the Future of JavaScript Debugging,” and the AI-themed “Chatting with the Canvas; How to Assemble Art from AI Image Prompts.”

Jessica Felix highlighted N|Solid, our product, emphasizing its significance in modern Node.js development and performance analysis. This array of topics underlined JavaScript’s dynamic and multifaceted nature, catering to a wide range of interests and expertise within the community.

NodeSource Alumni and JS Rockstar Erick Wendel shared his knowledge about “How to consume gigabytes of data in JavaScript without slowing down applications.”

And one of our current team members, the talented Juan José Arboleda, challenged the attendees that “JavaScript can be as fast as C++.”

Colombia has long been a crucial part of NodeSource, and the talent and energy from the region have produced many great team members. Like Maria Fernanda Serna and NodeSource Alumni Liz Parody, who helped organize this year’s event, we have enjoyed the spirit and talents of this region. Colombia has also been a place where we give back. From these community events to where we planted trees for every customer in our NodeForest campaign, Colombia is ¡Qué nota de lugar! (a fantastic place!).

In keeping with this spirit of community and innovation, a new event is being born to replace JSConf Colombia. It will be announced soon and is set to happen in October 2024. This upcoming event, which includes some of the organizers of JSConf Colombia, will continue to foster the region’s vibrant tech community. NodeSource will also continue to support this initiative, highlighting its ongoing commitment to the Colombian tech scene.
