What to expect

AI JavaScript fwdays'26 brings together JavaScript developers in Kyiv for a full-day conference exploring how AI is fundamentally changing JavaScript development. Scheduled for May 23, 2026, this hybrid event combines offline sessions at Genesis Space with online streaming, making it accessible whether you're local or remote.

This 16th JavaScript conference from the Fwdays team focuses on agentic coding — the emerging paradigm where AI agents actively participate in development workflows. Expect practical, no-fluff sessions on AI agents, modern frameworks, performance optimization, and the evolving JavaScript ecosystem.

What You'll Learn

The conference features speakers from GitLab, Wix, WalkMe, Superhuman, and other leading tech companies, covering:

  • AI Agents in Production: Learn how Wix deploys remote agents that go from Jira ticket to pull request without developer intervention (Danylo Kolesnikov, Engineering Team Lead at Wix)
  • Agentic Coding Reality Check: Illya Klymov from GitLab cuts through the hype to show what actually works in JavaScript agentic coding
  • Model Context Protocol (MCP): Discover how to teach AI to interact with your backend systems (Oleksandr Zinevych, Avenga)
  • Lean AI Agents: Build practical Node.js agents without heavyweight frameworks — no MCP, no Zod required (Andrii Shumada, WalkMe)
  • Cross-Platform Agentic UI: Superhuman's journey from Grammarly to building sophisticated agentic interfaces (Oleksii Levzhynskyi)
  • Frontend Architecture at Scale: Real-world case study of large e-commerce migration (Oleh Dutchenko, Kasta)
  • Framework Evolution: Critical analysis of when frameworks help versus when they become harmful habits (Serhii Babich, DataRobot)
  • Spec-Driven Development: Evolution from "Plan Mode" to formal specifications with OpenSpec (Vlad Yermolin, Master of Code Global)
