RenderATL, the leading tech conference merging innovation, culture, and code, today announced a first-of-its-kind collaboration with the OpenJS Foundation to host a dedicated OpenJS Summit at RenderATL 2026. The Summit will run as a highly technical, single-track experience with exclusive access to an entire floor of the convention center, creating an immersive environment for developers, maintainers, and technical leaders shaping the future of JavaScript.

Returning to AmericasMart Atlanta this August 12-13, RenderATL 2026 is expected to welcome thousands of developers, engineers, product leaders, designers, and technical decision-makers from across the global tech ecosystem. Building on the success of the June 2025 event, which drew more than 8,000 attendees and reinvested over $55 million into Atlanta's local economy, the 2026 conference will provide a powerful platform for OpenJS Summit participants to learn directly from the people and projects powering production JavaScript today.

"RenderATL was built to bring culture, community, and code together, and partnering with OpenJS takes that mission to the next level," said Justin E. Samuels, Founder and CEO of RenderATL. "By hosting the OpenJS Summit, we're creating a dedicated space for the maintainers and developers who power the JavaScript ecosystem to connect, share knowledge, and shape what comes next."

The OpenJS Summit is designed to introduce OpenJS projects as modern, relevant, and actively shaping how JavaScript is built and used today. Programming will center on Node.js and closely related technologies, with sessions focused on real-world use cases, production lessons, security, performance, AI-enabled development, and the evolving JavaScript ecosystem.

"The OpenJS Summit at RenderATL is an opportunity to bring our projects, maintainers, and community directly to the developers and teams building real-world applications every day," said Robin Ginn, Executive Director of the OpenJS Foundation. "Together, we're creating space for deeper technical conversations, cross-project learning, and clearer pathways for developers who want to engage and contribute."

By hosting the OpenJS Summit, RenderATL provides developers, maintainers, and technical leaders a unique platform to exchange knowledge, solve real-world challenges, and collaborate on the future of web development. The event reinforces RenderATL's commitment to empowering the technology community through shared learning and innovation.

Additional details for RenderATL 2026 and the OpenJS Summit, including programming themes and speaker participation, will be announced in the coming months. For more information about RenderATL, download the app at renderatl.com/app and follow @RenderATL on Instagram, X, and LinkedIn.
