ZurichJS Conference week is here, and we’re hosting a special side event: an invite-only fireside chat and private BBQ dinner with AG Grid and ZurichJS. Join us for an evening of insightful conversation, fun community vibes, great food, and awesome connections with senior professionals from Switzerland’s fintech, banking, insurance, and technology communities. What to expect 🎤 Panel discussion: AI and the Future of UI Libraries Industry experts and special guests will explore the future of UI development, with a focus on building data intensive platforms, improving performance, choosing the right UI libraries, and understanding how AI is changing the way interfaces are designed and developed. We will hear from: Andrew James who is a senior software engineer at Coinbase in Glasgow, Scotland, working on the Institutional trading team for Coinbase Prime and part of the frontend bar raisers group. Outside of work, he splits his time between cycling, learning guitar, and hanging out with his wife, pup, and one year old son. Josh Hobson who is a developer at AG Grid, where he's been building AG Studio - a new dashboard library with multi-agent AI baked in. He's a mathematician by training and a maker by instinct, with a particular love for developer tooling, type systems, and intelligent interfaces. Outside of work, Josh can be found tinkering with 3D printers, ski touring in the Alps, or out on long walks with his dog. TBA 🍖 BBQ Dinner and Networking Enjoy great food and drinks in a relaxed setting, with plenty of opportunities to meet new people and continue the conversation.
