Annual international conference.

Today, JSConf EU is the biggest non-profit conference for the JavaScript community worldwide. Marina Os. has been running the event every year since the first conference in 2009. In 2016 the JSConf EU became the biggest JavaScript conference in the world, with over 1000 attendees over three days.
After preparing the whole production, Marina Os. sourced the locations and planned the space concept. Strategic positioning of objects and sponsors provided participants with the opportunity to interact with each other and at the same time discover the different sponsors while walking through the location.

Said about the project

“It is hard to grasp how our tiny 100 person event in 2009 turned into a massive production of puzzling complexity”, says co-founder Malte Ubl

 

“What we did last weekend, would not have been possible without our creative director Marina Ostrowski….”, says co-founder Holger Blank

 

“Exhausted after an incredible JSConf EU. High five Holger, Kristina, and big shout out to our production agency Marina Os. (…), etc who did such amazing work with making Arena Berlin feel like a small festival. We’ve come pretty far since stumbling into that Hinterhof (at IMA Design Village) in Berlin in 2009.”
