The New React Native Architecture has been enabled by default for several months now, and we're excited to see how it's being used. Now what? What is going to happen to Legacy Architecture?

Several developers leveraged our Interop Layers to be able to use the New Architecture. Others haven’t migrated yet or are in the process of migrating. You might be wondering: what’s going to happen to my application in a future version of React Native? Will it just stop working?

In this talk, we'll take a deep dive into the world beyond Legacy Architecture. We'll explore what are the benefits of dropping the old code, what’s our plan to sunset the Legacy Architecture, and share our roadmap for a seamless transition to the new era of React Native.

Join us as we walk through what the future of React Native looks like.

Coding is difficult. But streamlined app creators are too limiting.

AI helps to bring these two extremes together in a way that removes barriers to entry while providing a lot of flexibility. Let’s explore how we can utilize AI app composers to increase efficiency, whether you are a developer or not—and what the most effective places to use them are.

AI is transforming the global software industry, enabling developers to become more productive than ever before. Large engineering organizations must now adapt to leverage these opportunities and keep pace with this evolution .For engineering leaders, this transformation presents both opportunities and challenges. The shift to AI-assisted development requires thoughtful consideration to accelerate quality, productivity and collaboration.

As AI accelerates projects, we're likely to see a shift toward more product complexity and larger codebases rather than simply faster delivery. This is a pivotal moment for individual developers and organizations to share their experience going through this major paradigm shift.

Drawing from personal experience and Hinge Health's journey as a large React Native team, this talk presents practical strategies for managing the transition to AI-assisted development in a large engineering organization. We'll explore how AI is transforming our product development pipeline through changes in developer productivity and satisfaction, CI, technical writing, project planning, and tooling to handle growing codebase complexity.

Learn practical React Native techniques to instill a 'premium feel' across the entire user journey. We'll cover implementing polished animations and intuitive gestures, designing effective navigation patterns, optimizing perceived performance, and utilizing haptics meaningfully. Discover strategic considerations for crucial touchpoints like onboarding flows and how/when to present information like sign-up or subscription options. Gain actionable insights from top-tier apps to significantly boost your app's overall quality and user satisfaction.

Tired of battling keyboard issues in your React Native apps? Join us on a journey through the evolution of keyboard management—tracing its path from clunky default behaviors to cutting-edge solutions. Discover the latest innovations that power fluid, native-like experiences, and see real-world use cases like chat interfaces come to life. Walk away with the knowledge to transform frustrating keyboard quirks into seamless interactions that users will love

LLMs are powerful, but at the same time, too large and resource-intensive. In this talk, you’ll learn how these models work, how they're optimized into smaller, more efficient SLMs, and why it’s a game-changer for mobile development. We’ll also explore the benefits of Edge AI, like privacy, lower latency, and offline support, and we'll walk you through how to integrate on-device conversational AI into a React Native app using ExecuTorch.

Video Streaming is hard - no doubt about it! But with the right tools, you don’t need to understand every detail. In this talk, you’ll learn how to skip the internals, get a quick intro to the basics, and walk away with everything you need to start streaming - no prior experience needed.

Le Chat is the app developed by Mistral AI, the pioneering French artificial intelligence company. Like ChatGPT or DeepSeek, Le Chat allows everyone, everywhere, to chat with Mistral’s models. Published a few months ago, the app is powered by React Native and Expo.

The talk will be a technical dive into one central building block of the app: text streaming. Allowing LLM’s answers to appear word by word on screen,  HTTP streaming is a classic method - yet a polyfill is still required for React Native's fetch. Why? How does it work exactly? What are the specific native considerations around it? And what else does it power within the React Native ecosystem?

How SpaceX is using React Native and Expo to enable lean teams to deliver results — serving users across the globe and beyond.

Efficient 3D graphics in React Native is now possible thanks to WebGPU, and it’s an opportunity you don't want to miss. While you may think of GPU as something challenging to handle, WebGPU, combined with tools like Three.js, Reanimated, and Worklets, makes breaking limits and achieving previously impossible become a reality.

WebGPU isn’t just about graphic, offering great computational power that can handle even AI computations directly within your React Native app. Moreover the ecosystem is rapidly evolving with solutions like TypeGPU, which are designed to help you navigate and feel at home in this exciting new space. If you're constantly seeking opportunities to make your app stand out and offer an unmatched, unique experience for your users, then this talk is for you.

Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) is powering a new breed of AI interfaces — but with great flexibility comes messy state. In this talk, we’ll dive into the real-world challenge of managing UI state in apps powered by generative backends. You’ll learn practical patterns to track sources, follow user intent, and tame AI responses, all without reinventing your frontend architecture.
