React Universe Meetup is back in the US, and this time we’re landing in New York City in The Farm Soho. We’re joining forces with Embrace to bring you a packed evening of cutting-edge insights, real-world case studies, and practical tips for building better cross-platform apps.

Who's this meetup for?

If you're building with React Native, scaling full-stack mobile apps, or figuring out how to ship and observe complex deployments—this meetup is for you.

You’ll be in good company with engineers, app architects, and folks who care deeply about performance, code quality, and real-world trade-offs. Expect solid talks, sharp minds, and good vibes. No fluff, just practical insights and time to connect with other people who get it.

Agenda

6:00 PM – Doors open, grab a slice

6:30 PM – Welcome to the React Universe Meetup by Mike Grabowski, CTO & Founder at Callstack and Andrew Tunall, President at Embrace

6:40 PM – Brownfield Incremental React Native Adoption x React Native Enterprise Framework by Michał Pierzchała, Principal Engineer at Callstack

Adding React Native to existing native projects is hard today, involving a lot of moving code around, adding legacy tooling (CocoaPods) and making native engineers familiar with Node.js ecosystem. In this talk, we'll go through a modern way of integrating React Native into a sample iOS and Android apps, utilizing react-native-brownfield library and React Native Enterprise Framework, which makes the whole process easier and less disruptive for iOS and Android developers.
